Cannot install on Windows

[oscarotero]

Hi. I'm trying to install pagefind in a windows computer (using the Lume plugin) but get this error:

Error: Failed to install either of [pagefind_extended, pagefind]. Most likely the platform windows-x64 is not yet a supported architecture.
Please open an issue at https://github.com/CloudCannon/pagefind and paste this error message in full.
If you believe this package should be compatible with your system,
you can try downloading a release binary directly from https://github.com/CloudCannon/pagefind/releases

It's weird because the package exists: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pagefind/windows-x64

👋 hey @oscarotero

Hmm, might need more details to dig in. Testing on Node 18 on Windows I'm not seeing any issues, both through npm i pagefind & the NodeJS API, as well as the npx pagefind wrapper flow.

Due to the way this is installed as an optionalDependency, this can happen if that install fails for whatever reason and NPM silently moves on. Or in this case, Deno could once again be causing an issue with optional / target architecture dependencies? I'll get Deno up and running on a Windows machine to test that...

I'll note yesterday's Deno release has the changelog item:

• fix(npm): do not create symlink for non-system optional dep in node_modules directory (#21478)

Perhaps the system check that Deno is running isn't matching the dependency correctly, and is now being filtered out?

Hi Liam! Thanks for the quick response (and sorry for my delay). Okay, I'll check different Deno versions and will let you know.

Hi. Sorry for taking so long to answer. 🙏

Today I could test again pagefind with Deno on a Windows machine and works fine. Maybe it was a bug from Deno that was fixed in next versions, I don't know.

Anyway, it's fixed, so I can close this. Thanks!
