Cannot install on Windows
antoninadert opened this issue · comments
On Windows 10, in the bash, I tried
meteor npm install
and I got
npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.EXE ls-remote -h -t https://github.com/meteor/readable-stream.git
npm ERR!
npm ERR! fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
npm ERR!
npm ERR! exited with error code: 128
I am pretty sure this is something wih the symlink not working on windows
Take a look at this:
meteor/meteor#9247
It looks like the problem was the same.
Thanks for your help. I managed this problem by doing a fresh install (getting rid of node_module)
Now my problem is that I get 'mv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I found this:

Do you think it means we need a special build command for windows?
Ok, instead of running
npm run transpile
You will need to take the four commands in package.json under transpile and work out how to run them in windows.... You could run the four commands manually.
"transpile": "mv './.babelrc.RENAMED' './.babelrc'; babel node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.ios.esm.js --out-file node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.ios.common.js; babel node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.mat.esm.js --out-file node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.mat.common.js;mv './.babelrc' './.babelrc.RENAMED'"
- move .babelrc.RENAMED to .babelrc
- babel node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.ios.esm.js --out-file node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.ios.common.js;
- babel node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.mat.esm.js --out-file node_modules/quasar-framework/dist/quasar.mat.common.js;
- move .babelrc back to .babelrc.RENAMED
I have to go out right now, but this is your basically what you need to do.
Sorry if I'm not a windows genius, but maybe we can get there together.
Let me know how you get on, and if possibile send me the four commands, just as you ran them for windows.
Windows is a mess !!! hahaha. I'm glad. It worked !
I had to replace babel by .\node_modules\.bin\babel because even if I installed babel globally, windows couldn't find the command
move .\.babelrc.RENAMED .\.babelrc
.\node_modules\.bin\babel node_modules\quasar-framework\dist\quasar.ios.esm.js --out-file node_modules\quasar-framework\dist\quasar.ios.common.js
.\node_modules\.bin\babel node_modules\quasar-framework\dist\quasar.mat.esm.js --out-file node_modules\quasar-framework\dist\quasar.mat.common.js
move .\.babelrc .\.babelrc.RENAMED
I have no clue how to do this in an NPM script (Batch file needed?)
I created a batch file that does the job: attached here
Rename it to transpile.bat
If you know how to work with npm, but there seems to be a conflict between / and \ between windows and other OSes.
I hope you include this solution in the README and in the project for Windows users.
See you
Brilliant!
I’ll include it in the Readme, absolutely
I have included transpile.bat in the root folder and updated the ReadMe to give a bit of help to Windows users.
I have also included you in the ReadMe. I hope you can cope with the fame.
I think we can close this issue.

Yes, Linux and similar all have the slash in the opposite direction to Windows
Though maybe you knew that. I suppose that brings particular challenges to dealing with npm
Challenges that I have no clue how to solve. I don't find a place with the correct information. Some people say that we can use forward slash in npm scripts on windows.
Well it seems that it doesn't work so good for me. Maybe there's a way though, but I'm a beginner here :)
