Can't find Preact out of the box

Do i need to install preact and preact-compat after installation via this script?

Any reason why preact and preact-compat doesn't get installed automatically @just-boris

Yes, you will need to install preact on your own.
Unfortunately, the react and react-dom dependencies are hard-coded as a part of create-react-app command, so it is not possible to modify it via --scripts-version option. I will update the readme with that information.

Sorry, tested this again, everything works fine for me. I have got preact installed without additional steps.

How did you create the app? In the Readme, we have the following command

create-react-app my-app --scripts-version @just-boris/preact-scripts
cd my-app/
npm start

Did it work for you?

And you didn't get the failed to compile error?

I have got spinning React logo, as it was expected for demo page.

I can verify the behavior @unicodeveloper experienced. Works fine after manually install preact and preact-compact. I am using create-react-app at version 1.3.1 if that's helpful.

Aha, I thought I was the only one.

Confirm the problem. I could not reproduce it before because I had and older version of create-react-command.

As the only possible solution, I recommend you to run npm install or yarn, depending what you are using, before starting the server. I will add this as a part of setup steps in README.md.
