then at the very last line

npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of preact@* but none was installed.

Those are actually all just warnings - the install likely worked fine :) We can probably remove that preact peer dependency warning though.

Got it. Yup, the output of npm install looked fine. I was just curious what bash: go: command not found is. No sure what go is. Maybe it's the binary for golang :)

[developit]

^ it is! it's a little bit odd - the most widely-used HTTP2 server we could find was simplehttp2server, which is written in Go. preact-cli uses an npm module that tries various methods to install it, and doesn't seem to suppress warnings for the methods that fail.

Ideally, it would be better to have a Node-based server, since there are options out there already that come very close to fitting the need.

Just an update, I was able to run and start an app using preact-cli
