This problem is not directly related to THREE.js. Are you creating a server or just opening the HTML file? index.html uses absolute paths such as:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/globe/third-party/Detector.js"></script>

Even though you can find it in your project, the script is not present at the above path.

Option 1: Host the files in such a way that Detector.js is accessible from that path. For example, you could use any simple HTTP filesystem server such as Python’s:

git clone https://github.com/dataarts/webgl-globe.git
cd webgl-globe/
python3 -m http.server

And then go to http://localhost:8000/globe/

Option 2: change the paths in index.html to reflect your filesystem. If you’re just opening index.html in the browser, this probably means making them relative (e.g. “./third-party/Detector.js”).
