bilalqv commented 12 months ago

I try to install watchman on my Ubuntu 22.04 OS. I followed the steps given here.

But, the .deb file is not present in the given release.

What steps should I follow for the installation?

georgedayiv commented 11 months ago

Hopefully you sorted this out already. I ran into the same issue. My solution was to look at previous releases until I discovered that rpms and debs were attached. v2023.10.09.00 had a deb attached which I was able to get installed once I sorted out the dependancies it wanted.

bilalqv commented 11 months ago

Yeah, I did the same thing. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to sort out the dependencies but can't find the installation candidate, e.g. for libgoogle-glog0v5. Can you help me out? Thanks

If on Ubuntu first sudo apt install watchman which will come will all those dependencies that are required and no longer maintained.Then from this version,download the .deb and finally sudo dpgk -i watchman_ubuntu22.04_v2023.10.09.00.deb.This worked for me after going through all the processes of even building from source.Note that now you have the 2023 version .

@peterkyle01 It doesn't work for me. Getting this error. Oh I see you are using ubuntu 22.04 not a different version

Yes, such documents are misleading.

The v2023.10.09.00 release contains a .deb package named "watchman_ubuntu22.04_v2023.10.09.00.deb". Can I use it to upgrade my watchman installed on my Ubuntu 20?

elgeokareem commented 6 months ago

could install it with no problems thanks to this thread but why aren't there deb files with new releases?

peterkyle01 commented 5 months ago

I saw that people are still having the issue and my solution did not work anymore so I found another solution.On linux,you can download the zip file from here.Then you can follow these steps :

$ unzip watchman-*-linux.zip $ cd watchman-vYYYY.MM.DD.00-linux $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/{bin,lib} /usr/local/var/run/watchman $ sudo cp bin/* /usr/local/bin $ sudo cp lib/* /usr/local/lib $ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/watchman $ sudo chmod 2777 /usr/local/var/run/watchman

On running watchman --version this will generate some error watchman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory which can be fixed by running:

$ wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb

Now you can run watchman --version and watchman version installed.

Official doc discourages installation from repository: "Warning: Do not install the Ubuntu-supplied Watchman package. It is old and missing security, bug, and performance fixes."

On linux,you can download the zip file from here

That works until v2024.04.15.00. Newer release (e.g. v2024.07.15.00) have neither .deb nor -linux.zip assets.
