Important Changes
- JavaScript Dependencies: Removal of 'node_modules' folder from Git repository
- The 'npm' dependencies and thus the 'node_modules' folder in the ILIAS root directory was removed from the ILIAS codebase.
All 'npm' dependencies will still be automatically added to the release builds (linked on the official ILIAS release pages) on GitHub.
With this change 'npm' will become a requirement for ILIAS installations based on Git branches/tags. To install the 'npm' dependencies on such installations, you'll have to execute:
npm clean-install --omit=dev --ignore-scripts
The --omit=dev flag can be ignored for development installations.
