First of all, thanks for your efforts to provide a Qt-based application framework.

In the beginners docs it states, no core-build-step is necessary, however, when I npm i any of the examples, it needs to build the nodegui_core ...

Is there something wrong on my side? Or do I miss some steps?

thx

andy
