@rfikki thanks for reporting. Seems like a problem with how windows handles paths.

Can you try changing this line: https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/zeppelin-solidity/blob/master/package.json#L12
to something like:

"install": "./scripts/install.sh"

Or however windows recognizes the path? (sorry, I don't have much experience with windows development)
Let me know

[maraoz]

@rfikki any update on this? Would like to help

[OnlyOneJMJQ]

@maraoz I added that as well as tried added exec in front of the path:
exec ./scripts/install.sh

Neither worked unfortunately. I've been researching other ways of moving files post-npm-install to try and create a helpful pull request, but am not having much luck yet.

Edit: I should note I'm executing this with PowerShell on Windows 10.

You can't run bash (Unix/Linux) scripts on windows by default if you're not running something like wsl (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or GIT Bash. I think using os-specific scripts/commands and copying stuff to some folder outside of node_modules is a bad Idea, you should convert your bash scripts to js files and add the moving of folders as part of a global commad, for example zeppelin init if users want to use that.

I'm currently running on windows so I could do a pr if you want.

As temp workaround you can also use npm install zeppelin-solidity --ignore-scripts to skip the post-install script.

[maraoz]

@explodingcamera Thanks for the info.
The post-install script should be gone once we move to ethpm, so that should also fix this problem.
No need to do what you suggested, in my opinion :)

To get rid of the errors we were having before we started powershell as admin and run the following command line:

npm install zeppelin-solidity --ignore-scripts

The result was:

`-- zeppelin-solidity@1.0.4
  `-- truffle-hdwallet-provider@0.0.3
    +-- web3@0.18.4
    | `-- bignumber.js@2.0.7  (git+https://github.com/debris/bignumber.js.git#94d7146671b9719e00a09c29b01a691bc85048c2)

To get rid of the warnings we added a package.json file with the following content to WINDOWS\System32:

{
  "description": "Holding package.json",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "A repository path"
  },
  "license": "MIT"
}

Finally the open zeppelin package installed without any errors or warnings. To be tested now though.

C:\WINDOWS\system32> npm install zeppelin-solidity --ignore-scripts

After issueing the truffle install zeppelin command just after truffle init inside a new folder:
Unfortunately the following error is raised:

Secp256k1 bindings are not compiled. Pure JS implementation will be used.

[maraoz]

This is a known issue with IPFS, sorry: #209
We're working on fixing it

[rstormsf]

this issue could be fixed when #253 is deployed to npm, correct?

[frangio]

This is obsolete as scripts/install.sh was removed (#272). If there are any newer installation problems on Windows please open a new issue.
