Missed installation requirement on Windows 10 #1237

Description

When you try to install expo-cli on windows 10 without installed Python (v2.7, v3.5, v3.6, or v3.7) you will get an error.

Expected Behavior

npm install -g expo-cli works without an errors.

Observed Behavior

You will get an error. This is node-gyp issue, that part of expo-cli dependencies. You can read here about that.

Environment

  Expo CLI 3.7.1 environment info:
    System:
      OS: Windows 10
    Binaries:
      Yarn: 1.19.1 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.CMD
      npm: 6.12.0 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD

I think that it makes sense to add Python (v2.7, v3.5, v3.6, or v3.7) as requirement for windows 10 in documentation.

I can confirm that installation attempt of the latest version of Expo throws node-gyp related errors. Log also mentions missing Visual Studio. Even though I have Python 2.7, I couldn't install the latest version, so I had to install v3.5.0 like this: npm i -g expo-cli@3.5.0

My install attempt quits with this final error below. Also, I have seen several people on Stack Overflow who got the same error, and one of them was a Mac user, so this problem might not be Windows specific.

38497 error code ELIFECYCLE
38498 error errno 1
38499 error libxmljs@0.19.7 install: `node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build --loglevel http`
38499 error Exit status 1
38500 error Failed at the libxmljs@0.19.7 install script.
38500 error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

And it also throws the following node-gyp related errors before the final message.

I had this problem in Windows 10, to be able to install the lastest version (I had no choice since it broke the current one). I had to install the latest version of Python (3.8.0) and then run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools as administrator (as explained here), then I was able to run again: npm install expo-cli --global to install the version 3.8.0 of the expo-cli

The problem seems to be that prebuilt binaries for the libxmljs depency are not available for Node v13.x.x yet. We'll look into this – it might make sense for us to eliminate this dependency in favor of a pure JS library such as xml2js.

To work around this installation issue on Windows there are two alternatives:

  • use Node v12 LTS, Node v10 LTS, (or until the end of 2019, Node v8 LTS). Pre-built binaries of the dependency are available so build tools like Python are not necessary.
  • when using Node v13, you can install build dependencies as detailed in this comment

I downgraded my Node to v12.13.0 LTS and then tried to install latest Expo, but it throw the same errors again. So I reverted back to Expo v3.5.0.

Description

When you try to install expo-cli on windows 10 without installed Python (v2.7, v3.5, v3.6, or v3.7) you will get an error.

Expected Behavior

npm install -g expo-cli works without an errors.

Observed Behavior

You will get an error. This is node-gyp issue, that part of expo-cli dependencies. You can read here about that.

Environment

  Expo CLI 3.7.1 environment info:
    System:
      OS: Windows 10
    Binaries:
      Yarn: 1.19.1 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.CMD
      npm: 6.12.0 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD

I think that it makes sense to add Python (v2.7, v3.5, v3.6, or v3.7) as requirement for windows 10 in documentation.

[RESOLVED] npm i -g expo-cli@3.5.0

the best way to download without Errores is with yarn
1- first download node js LTS
2- then download yarn from yarn. com
3- download git bash is better than cmd or node terminal
4- Type this code to download expo :

yarn add expo

This is an issue with the libxmljs package not having prebuilt binaries to download during install. It has nothing to do with the package manager (yarn vs npm) used.

Well worked partly for me, the previous error is gone but now this one shows up:

[06:36:11] Unable to find an existing Expo CLI instance for this directory, starting a new one... [06:36:16] Starting Metro Bundler on port 19001. [06:36:20] Tunnel ready. [06:36:20] Publishing to channel 'default'... [06:36:21] _xdl(...).ProjectUtils.readConfigJsonAsync is not a function

Well even with 3.4.1 it does not work anymore

Maybe this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58989858/4318778

expo-cli@3.5.0 will work now

we also published expo-cli@3.9.0 and changed the dependency policy between expo-cli and @expo/xdl so that old versions of expo-cli can't be broken by new releases @expo/xdl. on expo-cli@3.9.0 we no longer require libxmljs

i don't think this should be happening on latest expo-cli, if you think you are encountering a similar problem please create a new issue and follow the issue template, thanks!
