I’m running into this issue, too: this is my first time trying to compile my game, so I might be doing something wrong!

I followed @cup_half_empty’s [instructions here.](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/how-do-i-customize-the-stat-screen-color-scheme-like-that-of-fallen-hero-rebirth/81178/12)

- I downloaded the most recent version of ChoiceScript.
- I edited my style.css stylesheet and saved it.
- Using CSIDE, I exported my files to my /web/mygame/scenes folder, ensuring it was empty of other files first.
- I downloaded Firefox and set html files to be automatically opened by Firefox.
- I ran the compile.html file in my root folder, and it keeps popping up this error:

EXPORT FAILED  
Error: Could not open web/mygame/index.html

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it? 🙂
