'Story formats not found error' using Tweego on the Mac

Hello! I’m relatively new to forums, Twine, and programming + command line stuff in general, so please forgive me.

I’ve recently installed Tweego on my Mac (Catalina 14) and I’ve been trying to compile a test project I’ve written using VSCode with Harlowe 3. However, after typing the command:

tweego -o test.html insert/project/file/path/here

It returns this:

error: Story format search directories not found.

In case it matters, I’ve installed Tweego from the source. I was having problems downloading the precompiled stuff-- after unzipping the file, the executable didn’t work. Double clicking it resulted in a bunch of unreadable text.

I would absolutely love to use Twine if I could section off passages using folders, so I appreciate any help I could get. Was there something else I was supposed to do? Thanks in advance.

Yes. Install the story formats, as they aren’t included when you compile from source.

You can find the set that comes with Twine 2 here: https://github.com/klembot/twinejs/blob/develop/public/story-formats/.
