installation problems about adblockradio HOT 4 CLOSED

From the logs it looks you are on a UNIX platform. Linux? Mac?

That's right, I'm on a mac.

1. Check you can build things in general on your platform:

I can confirm that I can build things in general, so I moved to 2.

2. Follow advice from the node-sqlite3 page and report back with what helped you
   https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3

I wasn't sure what particular advice I should try from that page so I moved to 3.

3. Remove the "postinstall" line (and trailing comma the line above) in the package.json to skip the build specific to Electron. Then try to npm install again. But I doubt it will help you.

That worked! The node demo.js seems to work as well. Thanks!

FYI I am working on making the installation simpler by removing the Python part.
Please report what helped you get through, so that I can make this easier for the other people.

Indeed this is a miserable fail! ^^

I see three options:

1. Check you can build things in general on your platform:
   sudo apt-get install build-essential or something like that.

Great news. I had put that postinstall line for Electron build in https://github.com/adblockradio/buffer but it causes more problems than what it solves. Personal TODO: remove that line.

I have removed the postinstall operation in 8b08867#diff-b9cfc7f2cdf78a7f4b91a753d10865a2

A standard environment is now described in the Dockerfile https://github.com/adblockradio/adblockradio/blob/master/.circleci/images/primary/Dockerfile

Closing this now.
