Fallback mechanism for Property Manager installation #78

Closed saratrajan closed 2 years ago

saratrajan commented 2 years ago

I am creating this issue as per Akamai Tech Support. There was an issue a few week's back when the command was failing continuously for almost a day (09/23 to be precise) due to NPM error, within ADO pipelines, as follows:

unable to install package manager: npm
ERROR[0018] unable to execute package manager: npm command=install
ERROR[0018] INSTALL error: Unable to install selected package command=install

I am using the recommended way of brew install akamai before installing the Property Manager. So we are not sure if Brew was facing any regressions that given day, as well!

I would like to understand if there is any fallback mechanism with which one could install Property Manager and all similar packages of Akamai (like Onboard, CPS, Cloudlets) from command line just in case command fails.

Thank you for response, in advance.

Hi @saratrajan!

If install command keeps failing by any reason, I can suggest looking into using akamai docker images (more information can be found here - akamai-docker).

If using docker is not an option you can try installing the necessary package manually. For cli-property-manager you'd need to do

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/akamai/cli-property-manager.git
cd cli-property-manager
npm install --production
cp -r . ~/.akamai-cli/src/cli-property-manager

I hope this answers your question, if not please let me know.

Regards, Darek
