I have tried to pull previous versions of the ark-client and also use the n utility to switch between node versions.
I have identified at what version this problem occurs (see below).
Also, this happens because before node version 7.6.0 there is no async attribute.
But switching node versions will trigger a HID module core dump.
Also, this happens in the Vagrant file as well - that has Node version 6.9.1 and you cannot install ark-client on that machine.
Last version of Node (8.7.0) with the last version of ark-client has other incompatibilities (which aren't pictured below).

I implemented the populateLedgerAccounts method with async. In case it helps, the versions I'm using are:

$ npm -v
5.3.0

$ node -v
v8.4.0

Have you tried installing the ark-client as it says in the repo ?

So the problem is that there are a lot of old mentions to node versions < 7.x (when async was introduced).
For example the Vagrantfile suggests using 6.9.1, which won't work.

Now, as mentioned, there are multiple errors, depending on what node version you are running and what repo version:

  • a core fault
  • incompatibilities with async
  • permission errors

If you just try and run the latest version of the code and the lastest version of node - such as 8.7.0 - then I get a weird permission denied when using sudo (on Ubuntu)

`

@climaxx - it worked for me without doing anything special (I am running on Windows with MINGW64) - see below.

Can you just run node index.js in the root of the directory, after npm install?

Hello,

Sorry, I had to get hold of the laptop I was using, in order to have that information.

So first of all, I cannot install the ark-client package using npm install - as mentioned previously - I get the same error and you should have seen the logs - some weird permission problem (even if I run as with sudo or change the ownership of the directory that triggers the error).

Secondly, if I try to download the zip file and then run npm install (because otherwise it complains about missing dependencies) - I still get a crash - I will attach the file.
2017-11-10T21_36_06_539Z-debug.log
Basically, it fails under node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
And of course, node index.js won't work since the process failed.

I am using node version 8.7.0, npm v5.5.1 and Ubuntu 16.04.2
Thanks.

@climaxx is it possible to use https instead of git during npm install?

You both seem to have the same errors. It looks to me like a node-hid issue. I'll investigate when I'm on the computer next 🤔

@Jarunik - I don't know if it's related but your ark-client-cmd.txt file is showing the below:

You may need to confirm python is installed and in the path specified above.

Still looking but if you could fix Python to see if that helped, that would be great! Thanks!

Updated python and python is installed in that directory.

I had ark-client running before. Just broke when i tried to update to the newer version.

Weird @Jarunik. Your versions aren't vastly different to mine (same major version for node and npm). I wonder if it's a node-hid caching issue (cached on mine), hence why it's not an issue for me. I'll try clearing my cache and trying again

@climaxx you mention a vagrantfile but there isn't one included with the ark-client. What vagrantfile are you using?

@alexbarnsley

@Jarunik and @climaxx i'm in the process of setting up a fresh test environment to try to replicate. I have a couple of questions:

  1. What OS are you both running? (Windows for you @Jarunik I think, not sure about you @climaxx)
  2. Does the following work for you? (I'll include the comment below as a quote): Cannot install node-hid on Windows 10 with node 6.11.2 node-hid/node-hid#220 (comment)

Guys, problem was solved by:

installing python 2.7
adding node & python paths to PATH environmental variable
optional SET PYTHON=<path_to_python> before running npm install node-hid

I don't think we're supposed to be using sudo for things like building/installing apps.
It usually causes permissions issues and build errors.

May be worth trying the following:

Option 1: Change the permission to npm's default directory

  1. Find the path to npm's directory:

     npm config get prefix

    For many systems, this will be /usr/local.

    WARNING: If the displayed path is just /usr, switch to Option 2 or you will mess up your permissions.

  2. Change the owner of npm's directories to the name of the current user (your username!):

     sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}

    This changes the permissions of the sub-folders used by npm and some other tools (lib/node_modules, bin, and share).

To be honest I'm going to close this as no longer an issue for @Jarunik and no reply from @climaxx.

Thanks for your suggestions @sleepdefic1t and for confirming @Jarunik. Climaxx can reopen the issue if none of the suggestions help.
