There is no build folder after installation of ibm_db

[mspsoft]

I have installed ibm_db, but after installation the build folder is not generated, I am getting errors of 'could not find bindings'.

I have seen the already raised issue https://github.com/ibmdb/node-ibm_db/issues/991

and tried with below commands- npm install adm-zip@0.5.10 npm install ibm_db but still facing the same issue.

Here is the output of npm install --verbose

@bimalkjha - Please look at the above issue

@mspsoft You do not see build folder because installation of ibm_db is not successful. It seems you shared very less output of npm install ibm-db command. If it is full output, then it seems some issue. Do you get ibm_db directory under node_modules post installation? If yes, then cd to the ibm_db directory and then run npm install --verbose and share the complete output here. Thanks.

Hello @bimalkjha

Thanks for the response, ibm_db directory is created under node_modules post installation, below is the response I am getting on running npm install --verbose from the ibm_db directory

@mspsoft So, your installation is failing because ibm_db is unable to download clidriver from https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/data/db2/drivers/odbc_cli/ntx64_odbc_cli.zip or https://github.com/ibmdb/db2drivers/raw/main/clidriver/ntx64_odbc_cli.zip. Could you please check why it fails and resolve it? I am able to download files from both links. To fix it, workaround is, download clidriver from any of the link, unzip it and save as clidriver under ibm_db/installer directory as clidriver. Then set system level environment variable IBM_DB_HOME=full-path-of-clidriver; then run npm install under ibm_db directory. If IBM_DB_HOME is set, npm install will not try to download clidriver and use the existing one. Thanks.
