npm install fails for v2.0.0

[Zillode]

$ npm install --global elm
....

  ✖ elm pre-build test failed

This is because the BASE_URL uses the pkg.version (which is 2.0.0), while the git tag is defined as v2.0.0.

On Ubuntu 15.04 I installed official packages nodejs and npm. Then I created a symbolic link /usr/bin/nodejs -> /usr/bin/node, because otherwise I couldn't install Elm platform. Then I ran sudo npm install --global elm, and that's what I received:

  ✖ https://github.com/kevva/elm-bin/raw/2.0.0/vendor/linux/x64/elm-platform-linux-x64.tar.gz response code is 404 (Not Found)

Now, when I try to install startApp by elm-package install evancz/start-app, it throws this error:

execvp(): No such file or directory

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: spawn ENOENT
    at errnoException (child_process.js:988:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:779:34)

I don't know whether this has to do with the previous pre-build test failed errors or not.

I am experiencing a similar problem on Debian Wheezy (64-bit):

That's all the same problem. After this commit, new versions of the installer should get GitHub tags without the "v", so only "2.0.0" instead of "v2.0.0". So the problems here will be fixed once someone with the appropriate rights for this repository can do a new tag/release.

[kevva]

Sorry, should be fixed now.

[cosinekitty]

Thanks @kevva ... that fixed it for me. I had to use patchelf to make the elm binaries point to a local build of eglibc-2.19 because I'm running Debian Wheezy. After that everything worked fine!

[thunklife]

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Hi, this does not appear to be fixed, or at least the fix has not been pushed to the npm repositories.

Nope.

Well, very curiously, I ran the same install command again (without cleaning anything up) and now:

  ✔ elm pre-build test passed successfully
  ✔ elm-make pre-build test passed successfully
  ✔ elm-package pre-build test passed successfully
  ✔ elm-reactor pre-build test passed successfully
  ✔ elm-repl pre-build test passed successfully
...
~/code/elm  ᐅ elm make --help

Usage: elm-make [FILES...] [--output FILE] [--yes] [--report FORMAT] [--warn]

I'm confused but... happy?

[celikmus]

There seems to be a discrepancy with npm's package tracker and elm's versioning...

For those who run into this issue and can not resolve, do this: npm install -g elm@0.15.1-beta4
