Install failure on Mac OS X

picwell-james commented 9 years ago

On OS X 10.10.5, the homebrew beta install works fine, but the npm install fails (and I'd rather use real keybase than kbstage forever).

npm-install -g keybase-installer completes successfully, but keybase-installer fails with:

child_process.js:1162
    throw errnoException(err, 'spawn');
          ^
Error: spawn ENOTDIR

Maybe it can't find gpg? Can you send a -v output?

picwell-james commented 9 years ago

$keybase-installer -v
keybase-installer v1.0.3

$keybase-installer -d
debug: + cmd.run 1.0.3
debug: ++ Installer::run
debug: +++ Installer::test_gpg
child_process.js:1162

Is gpg available in your path? This should be a better error. But if not, you can install GPG tools or you can brew install gpg

picwell-james commented 9 years ago

Yes, it's available.

$ brew install gpg
Warning: gnupg-1.4.19 already installed

$ brew upgrade gpg
Error: gnupg 1.4.19 already installed

since the obviously things have been exhausted, i'd need to see the rest of the install log that you snipped out, otherwise it's hard for me to know...

picwell-james commented 9 years ago

Do you mean below

child_process.js:1162
    throw errnoException(err, 'spawn');
...

two of my comments up? It's identical to the error in the comment starting the issue.

maxtaco commented 9 years ago

Ah, you are correct, sorry. Which version of node are you running? node --version?

picwell-james commented 9 years ago

$ node --version
v4.1.1

$ npm --version #just in case?
2.14.4

maxtaco commented 9 years ago

ok, this might be the issue (I haven't tested with 4.1.1 yet)

nothing comes to mind, but maybe the right idea is to wait another ~1 week or so until we launch the new Go client for the production server.

picwell-james commented 9 years ago

Ok, thanks for your help, I'll give that a try.

maxtaco commented 9 years ago

Darn, couldn't repro it with 4.1.1
