yarn dev:setup produces "vector-admin/backend/node_modules/@prisma/engines: Command failed."

[mjackstewart]

Hello!

I'm attempting to setup vector-admin on an Ubuntu VM running on WSL 2.

This is the Ubuntu release information:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Release: 22.04

Codename: jammy

I installed the most recent version of yarn with this command:

sudo apt install yarn

This also installed nodejs.

So far I've had two problems with the very first command, yarn dev:setup:

• The first was the error:

yarn run v1.22.19
error vector-data-management-system@0.0.2: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=18". 
Got "12.22.9"
error Commands cannot run with an incompatible environment.
i

I was able to deal with that by issuing this command:

yarn config set ignore-engines 
true

• The installer ran, but experienced this error toward the end of the installation:

error /mnt/c/Development/Projects/Python/vectoradmin/vector-admin/backend/node_modules/@prisma/engines: Command failed.

Exit code: 1

Command: node scripts/postinstall.js

Arguments:

Directory: /mnt/c/Development/Projects/Python/vectoradmin/vector-admin/backend/node_modules/@prisma/engines

Output:

/mnt/c/Development/Projects/Python/vectoradmin/vector-admin/backend/node_modules/@prisma/engines/dist/scripts/postinstal
l.js:22549

 return this[INTERNAL2].defaultPort ?? (this.protocol === "https:" ? 443 : 80);

Any ideas?

Hey Jack,

Definitely don't ignore engine as the some libraries (and code!) rely on the node 18+ APIs that wont be present in previous versions.

install at least Node 18.0.0 but I recommend 18.13.0. On Ubuntu Jammy you can install node+yarn using the following series of commands:

  mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings && \
    curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg && \
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_18.x nodistro main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list && \
    apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -yq --no-install-recommends nodejs && \
    curl -LO https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v1.22.19/yarn_1.22.19_all.deb \
        && dpkg -i yarn_1.22.19_all.deb \
        && rm yarn_1.22.19_all.deb

Once those are installed cd into the project and run yarn dev:setup again and it will install dependencies and copy ENV files to where they need to be for minimal setup!

Howdy, Timothy! Thank you SO much--you're a BRO! I was looking for a vector database administration application, and I just happened on your video. It was GREAT! I'm curious: Was there actually a problem that you fixed, or was if operator error (me)? Most cordially, Jack Jack Stewart (he/him/his) (812) 786-2439

It was just an operator error this time :)

The issue was just using an old version of node that is incompatible with the code for this project!
