Cannot install v11.0.0 RN

[adlambel]

How frequently does the bug occur?

All the time

Description

Hello,

I wanted to try the new v11 version of realm in a react-native project but I can't install it via npm. I created a new react-native project (with RN 0.70.4) with the official react-native template (Typescript).

Right after the init of the project, I tried to npm install realm but always have the same error : sh: cmake-js: command not found

I tried different versions of node (multiple 14.X and 16.X) to install

Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem ?

Thanks !

Maybe this could be an issue, difference i found in v10.23.0 and v11.0.0 is GCDWebServer is not there in v11.0.0

So far I haven't able to able to reproduce it - using MacOS 12.6 (M1) and node 16.17.0.

Can you download the binaries manually:

 curl -O https://static.realm.io/realm-js-prebuilds/11.0.0/realm-v11.0.0-napi-v5-darwin-x64.tar.gz

The tar.gz file is about 3 MB. If you can, please try to install Realm again to see if was a transient issue with our servers or the connection.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply ! I successfully downloaded the binaries with curl but still can't install Realm via npm.

Did I misunderstood something ? Was the curl request just to make sure i can DL it or was I supposed to use it ?

I also tried with node 16.17.0 and still facing :

npm ERR! code 127 npm ERR! path /Users/adrienlambel/WebstormProjects/app/talesupreader/node_modules/realm npm ERR! command failed npm ERR! command sh /var/folders/63/vb_j28752gg3k2tjxxbq05mr0000gn/T/install-f20768bf.sh npm ERR! prebuild-install warn install EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/adrienlambel/.npm/_prebuilds/deaa39-realm-v11.0.0-napi-v5-darwin-x64.tar.gz.48565-6715cf1039661.tmp' npm ERR! /var/folders/63/vb_j28752gg3k2tjxxbq05mr0000gn/T/install-f20768bf.sh: line 1: cmake-js: command not found

Thank for the update. I ask about the manual download to verify that nothing between you and our server is blocking you.

The error message sh: cmake-js: command not found indicates that you cannot download binaries, and npm tries to build from source (and we use cmake-js for that).

I don't understand why you have a permission error but as a work-around you can try to add --unsafe-perm when you install Realm: npm install --unsafe-perm realm

@atropos0902 I wonder if you are behind a proxy server and needs to set HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY.

I was behind the proxy and when I disabled the proxy, it worked. Thank you!

@atropos0902 I closing the issue. I am a bit surprise to see that prebuild-install doesn't handle proxies well.
