Can't install in windows

[Asuka109]

Errors throwed when installing rn-webview-rpc from npm.
Windows CMD doesn't support cp -r dist/* .

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] postinstall: `cp -r dist/* .`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2020-04-09T15_15_34_677Z-debug.log

But something confuses me is when I check git://github.com/ronhe/comlink.git, you know, "postinstall" doesn't exist in the packages.json. Is this something magic...?

Sorry for poor grammar.

Hi @Asuka109,
First, please note that WebView api is deprecated both in iOS and Android, so I advise you not to use it for new projects.

Seconds, notice #dist at the end of git://github.com/ronhe/comlink.git#dist. It means that the comlinkjs dependency is installed from the dist branch where the postinstall script exists.

Third, to solve your error easily, you can run npm install rn-webview-rpc inside a console emulator, such as cmder or Git BASH.
