npm install bip-ed25519 - not found

[nicarq]

Hi!

Thanks for sharing :) it’s not currently working for me, because bip-ed25519 is missing in the package.json dependencies. If I try to install it manually by doing npm install bip-ed25519, I get that it wasn’t found :-/

apply the following patch to package.json and redo the "npm install"

-    "scrypt": "^6.0.3"
+    "scrypt": "^6.0.3",
+    "bip-ed25519": "git@github.com:ilap/BIP32-Ed25519.git"

@mjackson001 thanks!

ok, this brought my one important step forward. When I tried this script around a month ago I wasn't able to get this bip-ed25519 installed. (the package.json at that time contained a bip-ed25519 name, but that pointed to another URL.

npm debug.log at that time looked like

after quite a lot of time spend on this (as a newbie) I gave up at that time.

Now it's a different error and it looks more like I'm not allowed to fetch this package from git@github.com:ilap/BIP32-Ed25519.git

when I try to run the git command in cli i get this error

this would be a permission issue with ssh / github. see if this helps: https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey/

I'm still struggling with this (my) issue. (Windows 10 PC)
privatekey is generated, publickey is stored on my git profile
ssh -vT git@github.com shows a good looking "Hi gufmar! You've successfully..."

but still both npm install bip32-ed25519 and git ls-remote -h -t ssh://git@github.com/ilap/BIP32-Ed25519.g does show the same errors as reported above.

I was able to run npm install git+https://git@github.com/ilap/BIP32-Ed25519.git

But this now results in these warnings and errors

I see you're on Windows. I don't have any Windows machines to test with, but I expect that might be part of, if not the entire issue. I install OK running Linux here.

[gufmar]

ok, I read some docs and even if my last lines of cpp code were written in the former millennium, if found adding this 3 lines (2 inlcudes and one pragma lib link) allowed me to compile and install the package.

I have no idea if this is fully correct and save, or if it will break functionality on other environments.
