Installation instructions

[RommelTJ]

Sorry, but I'm unfamiliar with Javascript apps. How do you install the cypher plugin? Step-by-step instructions might be useful for people like me who are not familiar with how this works and too dumb to figure this out. 😖

I downloaded the cypher project and it saved to ~/Downloads/cypher-master, and then on Nylas N1 > Preferences > Plugins > Install Plugin, I pointed to that directory. I got an error message similar to this: #15

I went through that issue and also #13, but I must be doing something wrong. I also tried running npm install --production but it made no difference.

I am on OS X 10.11.5, Nylas N1 0.4.40-85cf726, and GPG Suite v2015.09.

Thanks for developing this great plugin!

Hey, try deleting the node_modules folder and then running npm install --production. Could you give me the output of the npm command?

I am getting sick of this bug.

[mbilker]

I fixed most of the issues with the other issues, but apm seems to hate git stuff.

Also, do you have git installed?

[RommelTJ]

I deleted node_modules. Here is the output of npm install --production.

I am using git version 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66).

That looks about right. Are there any errors in the Developer Console (Menu Bar -> Developer -> Show Developer Tools) related to Cypher?

[RommelTJ]

Uhhhh.... not sure what to tell you, but when I was trying to give you the logs, I selected Debug flags and it rebooted Nylas and now I can see the Cypher plugin installed and it looks like I can use with no issue.... So I guess issue resolved... 😕

[mbilker]

That is strange. I run N1 in developer mode and really only use Cypher to decrypt email. The Nylas team is working on PGP support that is way better than Cypher. I have become busy with other tasks and Cypher has been put on the backburner.
