Install problems in windows

[Sorcerer Stone]

Hello All,

Still having problems installing openHIM. I cleaned out my system (removing node js, mongodb, python, etc) from previous failed install attempts and tried to reinstall again.

My OS is Win8.1 (64bit). Ran into and fully aware of the infamous node-gyp problems in Windows (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/629). I have fixed this problem and have installed node js, python2.7, node gyp with SDK for Win8.1, VC++ compiler for python 2.7 and MS Build Tool 2015 installed. So the above is my current configuration.

When I tried to installed openHIM, I ran into errors. I have attached a screenshot and the cmd output.
From the command out, it said:

1/ Cannot find a particular openHIM installed module (..\node_modules\kerberos\node). From the screenshot (upper right), the folder kerboros created by openHIM install indeed is missing this folder.

2/ Cannot find node-gyp.js in ..\ node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\. From the screenshot (lower right), this file is there.

I have looked into kerberos module site for info related to this problem. Cannot find any. Seemed to me from googling for days that this kerberos module required MIT kerberos engine installed (https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/). I installed this engine before my attempt to install openHIM again.

Can someone kindly suggest what I should do to overcome these errors?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sorcerer,

Something to note is that even if you see errors like you sent through, that doesn't mean the install process failed.

All the modules we use in the HIM have javascript fallbacks; meaning that if node-gyp fails the module will fallback to the non-native version.

The good news is looking at the output, I suspect the install process might've finished successfully. Try running the command:

openhim-core --version

What do you see?

Kind Regards

Hannes

Hello Henne,
The version # is 3.1.0
My questions then are since kerberos failed to install,
1/ What should I do to install kerberos?
2/ Does it mean if 1/ is not fixed, then authentication in openHIM in my system will not work or I will be expecting errors when using openHIM.
Thanks in advance.

Aah great. You should be able to startup core now.

1) Sorry I'm not sure how to address the issue on windows

2) no, not at all! the HIM will work perfectly fine (it's not even a direct dependency)

Cheers

Hannes
