Answer 1

To get the benefits of the full ember-cli ecosystem, you'd have to be using the versions that support it. I think that it began in 1.13

As mentioned, it's highly likely that this addon assumes the standard CLI setup. You could ask the author.

Depending on your app complexity, you could do a few different things.

You could use the js library https://github.com/lindell/JsBarcode - (which is what the addon uses)

OR you may want to rewrite the app with the latest and greatest - now. 1.12 is going to be expensive to keep up / and since you've likely figured out how all the logic should work, then writing it again won't be the hardest part. (this sounds fun, right?) - and then use the addon

Which will take longer?

Answer 2

This should be a comment but I can't comment yet. I'm the author and it's compatible with Ember 2.4 onward. I will be putting version compatibility information in the readme.

I haven't worked with a cli version this old but ember install should be all you need if it's compatible. The add-on is a really thin wrapper around JsBarcode, so you could use the library direct if you have stay with the current ember version.
