npm install fails on Windows 7 #286

Closed haiqu closed 8 years ago

haiqu commented 8 years ago

Yes. Seems unmanned.

Issue

Cannot install truffle under Windows 7. The problem seems to be path lengths, which exceed the allowable length in that OS.

Steps to Reproduce

npm install -g truffle

Expected Behavior

I expect it to install. :)

Managed to compile tonight after updating to node 6.7.0

Closing ticket.

Hi Rob,

Regarding the Truffle Gitter:

Yes. Seems unmanned.

There are 420 subscribed Gitter users at the time of this writing. There are definitely users willing to help. I assume you caught people at the wrong time.

That said, there is no paid support person, so please continue reaching out to the community if you don't immediately get a response.

Cheers.

It's OK, I've been in the open source community for years, I know how it works. Just glad to have found that the problem was on my end, I've given up on many projects due to complete lack of support.

Not that commercial software is any better. :)
