[arun057]

When trying to run the examples from a mac, npm install fails.

Currently, the Node.js client only works on Linux. This is the message you saw regarding"Not compatible with your operating system or architecture" and "Valid OS: Linux".

This is because the Node.js Client depends on a C Client library, which is only available for Linux.

We are currently in the process of making the C Client library compatible with Mac OS X.

Is there an open issue for that?

[cstivers78]

Sorry, there is no open issue on that. We are internally working on mac compatibility, and do not have a time frame for its release. We will let you know when it is ready.

I will reopen this issue, and leave it open until Mac support is released.

Cool, thanks!

I'm not sure that this warrants another Issue, but this also doesn't build properly on Amazon Linux (Linux 3.4.68-59.97.amzn1.x86_64 GNU/Linux)

error: amazonami2013 is not supported.

And for what it's worth, I had to provide lsb_release to get that far.

yum install redhat-lsb-core-4.0-7.9.amzn1.x86_64

[cstivers78]

This should be in a separate ticket.

The client should be installable on Amazon's AMI, as it is RedHat based. You can modify the scripts/aerospike-client-c.sh script on line 64 to include "amazonami2013".

See:
https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-nodejs/blob/master/scripts/aerospike-client-c.sh#L64

Modify that line as follows:

 "centos6" | "redhatenterpriceserver6" | "amazonami2013" ) 

Then rerun npm install, and it should work.

Note: I haven't tried it myself, I assume it will work, but I make no guarantees 😺 I assume it will work because the C client is built against what I believe is an older libc than what's on the Amazon AMI, which has a 3.x Linux Kernel vs the 2.6.x Linux Kernel of RHEL6. But without testing it, I can't be sure. I hope that you will let me know if it works, then I can make the appropriate changes. Good luck 🍀

[colinmutter]

Thanks @cstivers78. It builds perfectly. I've tested a few commands without issue. Would you accept a PR or be able to integrate? Or are you guys drawing the "officially supported" line at CentOS and RHEL6?

[cstivers78]

Yes, please send me a PR.

The "officially supported" line simply states that we ensure the software will work on said platforms, this is through QA and other processes.

[cstivers78]

Just released v1.0.2, which includes support for Mac OS X.

Please let me know how it goes.
