'npm install ipfs' fails on Windows 10 if Windows login (and user's home path) contains non-ASCII characters #1318

brutestack · 2018-04-20T12:05:53Z

Version:
js-ipfs version: 0.28.2-
Repo version: 6
System version: x64/win32
Node.js version: v8.11.1
Platform:
Windows 10 Home edition 64 bit

Type:

High

Description:

Unable to install js-ipfs via npm on Windows 10 in case user's login and/or user's home path (c:\Users\[Username]) contains non-ASCII characters.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Create new local Windows user with cyrillic (for example) login.
Logout from current user and login as new user with cyrillic name.
Install Node.JS
Try installing js-ipfs globally as described in documentation / or create new node project and try 'npm install ipfs --save' in it

As a result you see errors produced by node-gyp compilati telling 'node.h' not found etc.

victorb · 2018-04-20T15:03:11Z

Does other packages work to install globally but not js-ipfs? Also, could you paste the full output of your installation log here please?

brutestack · 2018-04-20T19:10:05Z

Yes, I'm able to install other packages globally.

Here is the console output:

Honestly, you're probably going to have other issues too. This library makes assumptions about linux style paths in a lot of places. I am using windows at home also and I have to use new WSL to get it to work. So I would just say use that for now.

justinmchase · 2018-05-10T04:40:57Z

This is a little old but I don't think its fundamentally changed that much:

brutestack · 2018-05-11T06:48:38Z

I haven't heard about WSL feature earlier.
It's very helpfull.
Thank you!

daviddias · 2018-06-04T08:28:47Z

Is this still an issue with latest js-ipfs? Can anyone confirm?

As a result jsipfs CLI is not available.

@hacdias Can you test with latest js-ipfs? Or @aschmahmann?

hacdias · 2020-05-21T15:23:42Z

Created a user with an emoji on its username.
Run npm i -g ipfs
Result: (some Unicode decoding error)

achingbrain · 2020-05-21T16:12:30Z

Is this problem specific to IPFS or does it happen with any module that has a native module as a dependency?

justinmchase · 2020-05-21T18:07:19Z

It looks like its in the fs-ext module... here.

Looking at the way it builds it looks pretty standard, it seems like it should work on windows with unicode path characters. Try installing some other native module like npm i sass -g and if that fails with the same error then its probably an issue in node-gyp, though its such an important module I'd have a real hard to believing that they simply forgot to support unicode paths, it would be weird.

As a workaround, if you move your code to C:/code with no unicode characters and try it again and see if it works.

hacdias · 2020-05-22T10:17:22Z

npm i sass -g works.
npm i tiny-secp256k1 -g fails.

achingbrain · 2023-06-02T14:30:46Z

If this is still an problem an issue should be opened against npm.
