I'm not sure how you installed nodejs but you might need to set NODE_PATH
to point to the node_modules dir where xi-artwork was installed. The error
means the xi-artwork nodejs module was not found.

I'm not sure what you mean here. volo create setups a template activity in
a new directory, it shouldn't matter where you run it.

I was suggesting to tweak the omega-examples as a way to get familiar with
the existing code. It's also a useful task because we will need to fix
those at some point. But it's up to you really... When you figured out the
"volo create" stuff you might also want to try to write an example activity
yourself just to see how the current stuff works.

The real task will be to write more UI controls, but you probably need to
understand pretty well what is there already before starting with that.


Good luck with your exam :)
