ursa dependency #1

Closed kennethlimcp closed 10 years ago

kennethlimcp commented 10 years ago

Can we switch over to soft-dependency for this module?

Had this issue with Spark-CLI previously as it requires Python in order to install correctly.

@dmiddlecamp,

Can you switch to soft dependency for now? Seems like the issue for windows

In this case ursa is a hard dependency, the protocol module needs to do a bunch of encryption in code, so it has to stay.

It is possible to install this module in windows, it probably just needs the Visual Studio C++ redistributable -

Hmm, we really only need it in spark-protocol, so I removed it from spark-server, you still need to be able to install it though.

I also added mentions of those packages to https://github.com/spark/spark-protocol/blob/master/doc/INSTALL.md
