miladild · 2018-10-22T22:27:35Z

Hello guys,
I have tried to install semantic UI several times but It stucks at the following stage:
Creating src/theme.config (LESS config) C:\Users\miladild\semantic\src\theme.config

I have Unistalled Node and Installed it again but it did not worked

Is anyone can who can help me?

Testcase

nighthacker · 2018-11-05T23:33:33Z

The same problem here. Windows 10.
It is not possible to install this package for weeks.
This is ridiculous.

etshy · 2018-11-06T08:20:11Z

I have Win 10 and had no problem here to install/update (my last update was few days ago).

For @miladild problem, it seems to be the first file to be created, right ?
Maybe your npm/yarn doesn't have access to this directory, did you try to create your project outside your "user's folder" ?

nighthacker · 2018-11-06T12:06:46Z

@etshy I checked it. This is not a problem with user's folder. :(
I dont think its a problem with access rights because files in /semantic are created successfully (even theme.config)
npm version : 6.1.0

UPDATE:
npm updated to 6.4.1. - bug still exists.

fpstidston · 2018-11-06T15:45:08Z

I have the same problem as @nighthacker

Also 6.4.1

AndrewBoklashko · 2018-11-06T16:24:07Z

Hi everyone
I had the same problem and I was able to resolve it by installing earlier NodeJS version.
I was on 10.13.0 and downgraded to 10.11.0.

nighthacker · 2018-11-06T19:15:38Z

Hello @SSkovboiSS
unfortunately, downgrade to 10.11 does not help in my case.

enginhu · 2018-11-07T12:03:52Z

I have the same problem. Will try now downgrade the nodejs version.

enginhu · 2018-11-07T12:18:07Z

I have the same problem. Will try now downgrade the nodejs version.

Downgrading 10.11.0 worked for me.

sink66 · 2018-11-16T14:27:59Z

I had the same problem, but it was solved by downgrade of Node.js.

npm v6.4.1
+
node.js

v11.2.0
v10.13.0
v10.11.0
v10.10.0
v10.5.0
v10.3.0
v10.2.0
Doesn’t work for me.

v10.1.0
v10.0.0
v9.11.2
Worked for me.

@nighthacker
Please try node.js v10.1.0 or lower.
Just in case, revert "package.json" and delete "package-lock.json", "node_modules", "semantic.json".

KayJay89 · 2018-11-28T21:53:21Z

I can affirm same problem exists here. Also Windows 10.

Node v10.14.0
NPM v6.4.1

Dark-Yox · 2018-12-05T17:40:19Z

v10.14.1
v11.2.0
v11.3.0
Doesn’t work for me.

v10.1.0
Worked for me.

subramn · 2018-12-09T15:32:37Z

I had the same problem and downgrading to v10.1.0 fixed it. thanks

huangenyang · 2018-12-12T00:49:30Z

Program still exists, this is ridiculous

nighthacker · 2018-12-12T07:49:05Z

@huangenyang
This is why i switched to Bulma/Buefy.
There is no even a person assigned to this task.
Waste of time.

Miilu · 2019-01-06T00:46:40Z

I had the same problem and downgrading to v10.1.0 did not work ,then i create a new folder on the desktop ,it worked.

Fusseldieb · 2019-01-14T11:25:48Z

Same here. Windows 10.

From what I see, that problem is going for months and nobody even glimpses an eye at this.

This has been attributed "High Prority" and it's taking months, imagine something not "High priority"....

I know that nobody is being paid for this, nor is it a job, but if the semantic team wants their package to be popular and well received, at least fix bugs that prevent people from even normally installing (and using) the thing.

@hammy2899 News?

y0hami · 2019-01-14T12:01:55Z

@Fusseldieb I have no idea what is happening with this issue. If you are still having this issue I suggest trying to install using node 8 and make sure you aren't running the build script with gulp4.

I would also recommend trying Fomantic-UI because you can install that 😉

Fusseldieb · 2019-01-14T12:34:56Z

I would also recommend trying Fomantic-UI because you can install that 😉

Thank you for that. Worked just fine... Using latest npm and node (at the time of writing)

For those who don't know: Fomantic-UI is the same as Semantic-UI, but at the time of writing more updated and with more design elements.

From what I've read they plan to merge Fomantic into Semantic later, so I think with that, this issue should die. It's already solved on Fomantic, as seen above.

I have not found the Fomantic-UI repository. Where can I find it?

Fusseldieb · 2019-01-16T14:59:04Z

@lmercie3 Have you tried to install gulp-help with npm install gulp-help ?

I just tried and still doesn't work :

Hmm, strange... But why are you trying to use gulp on this? It should be ready to use..

lmercie3 · 2019-01-16T15:01:09Z

Well... I was just following the Fomantic installation guide :

Anyway, thank you for answering fast 👍

Fusseldieb · 2019-01-16T15:08:10Z

Well... I was just following the Fomantic installation guide :

Also be sure to use the latest node & npm version, just in case.

Anyway, thank you for answering fast 👍

No problem

y0hami · 2019-01-16T15:59:08Z

@lmercie3 try using npx gulp build if you still have issues after that open an issue on FUI since this is the SUI repo.

CDT · 2019-01-22T00:24:40Z

I can't install semantic on my every windows computer, please fix this issue !

y0hami · 2019-01-22T07:51:28Z

@CDT what version of node, npm and SUI are you using?

CDT · 2019-01-22T07:57:47Z

@hammy2899

node: v11.6.0
npm: 6.5.0-next.0
semantic-ui: should be 2.4.2, as no version is specified

stuck here forever:

y0hami · 2019-01-22T08:01:53Z

@CDT Do you have a version of gulp installed globally? $ gulp --version

CDT · 2019-01-22T08:04:57Z

@CDT Do you have a version of gulp installed globally? $ gulp --version

gulp version:

global CLI version: 2.0.1
Local version in semantic: 3.9.1

y0hami · 2019-01-22T08:41:19Z

@CDT Try the following and if it works

$ mkdir sui-test && cd sui-test
$ npm init -y
$ npm install semantic-ui --ignore-scripts
$ cd node_modules/semantic-ui
$ npx gulp install
go through the installer
$ cd ../../
$ ls -la
check if semantic/ directory exists

$ npm install semantic-ui --ignore-scripts
$ cd node_modules/semantic-ui
$ npx gulp install

$ cd ../../
$ ls -la
check if semantic/ directory exists

no luck, at npx gulp install still stuck at Creating src/theme.config (LESS config)

y0hami · 2019-01-22T09:02:26Z

@CDT try the following

If you are using `nvm`:

$ nvm install v10.1.0
$ nvm use v10.1.0
$ npm install semantic-ui

Using node via exe installer:

Download the v10.1.0 installer from here https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.1.0/ and install it
once installed try installing SUI again

$ npm install semantic-ui

NOTE: Remember to restart your CMD after installing node.

CDT · 2019-01-23T02:55:39Z

@hammy2899
Now it works! Thank you!
I downgraded node from v11.6.0 to v10.1.0 and now everything works like a charm.
So the root cause is semantic-ui is not compatible with the latest node.

janevskidamjan · 2019-02-19T16:03:44Z

Hi everyone
I had the same problem and I was able to resolve it by installing earlier NodeJS version.
I was on 10.13.0 and downgraded to 10.11.0.

Exactly the same here.

Worked for me Thanks

kuworking · 2019-03-03T07:55:02Z

Still unfixed.

For me it didn't work on node 10.12. Uninstalled, installed v10.10, and it works.
→ Didn't know of Fomantic-ui, I'll be keeping an eye for when they release the react version :)

UnnitMetaliya · 2019-04-16T20:00:41Z

Same problem. Installation stuck on creating theme.config file. Battled with this issue for two days. Tried installing fomantic-ui workaround. Worked like a charm! Thanks for putting that out.

StefJanssen20 · 2019-05-08T06:28:55Z

In my case, it worked adding a semantic.json to the root of the project. it should look like this:
{ "base": "semantic/", "paths": { "source": { "config": "src/theme.config", "definitions": "src/definitions/", "site": "src/site/", "themes": "src/themes/" }, "output": { "packaged": "../src/assets/semantic/dist/", "uncompressed": "../src/assets/semantic/dist/components/", "compressed": "../src/assets/semantic/dist/components/", "themes": "../src/assets/semantic/dist/themes/" }, "clean": "../src/assets/semantic/dist/" } }
Be sure you don't have a version in the file.

RobJacobson · 2019-08-09T06:08:41Z

Same problem here. Even after updating to 10.16. I'll try the downgrade suggestion.

Update: The downgrade to 10.11 worked for me.

EmirhanAksoy · 2019-11-01T19:40:05Z

Same problem here.

vladipus · 2019-11-09T10:29:50Z

Same for me =(

HarryAdney · 2019-12-17T09:36:11Z

Over a year and this still isn't fixed? And this is a HIGH priority? The devs are actually chasing Windows 10 users away from SUI.

Not cool, dudes; not cool.

y0hami · 2019-12-17T11:07:50Z

For everyone who is still having this problem take a look at Fomantic-UI we have updated to gulp4 and node 12 which fixes these problems with installing. It is also the active community fork because SUI is practically dead.

@HarryAdney @vladipus @EmirhanAksoy @RobJacobson

yeori · 2020-04-19T00:53:03Z

I'm experiencing this issue, stucked while creating src/theme.config(Less config) ...

I don't want to downgrade node just beacause of installing semantic-ui module, just gave up the installation

iamareebjamal · 2020-04-19T23:56:36Z

See the comment just above yours. Thanks

ext0 · 2020-06-17T15:50:30Z

+1 for Fomantic-UI, should've moved to that years ago.

https://fomantic-ui.com/introduction/getting-started.html

FoxJokerEila · 2020-07-17T12:50:32Z

node 10.1.0 works for me.

Meknassih · 2020-12-15T23:14:24Z

2 years later still not fixed? I guess I'll try Fomantic then...

HarryAdney · 2021-01-02T17:54:32Z

2 years later still not fixed? I guess I'll try Fomantic then...

Semantic is pretty much dead, mate as shown below:

For everyone who is still having this problem take a look at Fomantic-UI we have updated to gulp4 and node 12 which fixes these problems with installing. It is also the active community fork because SUI is practically dead.

Fomantic is the latest fork, apparently.
