Problem with Ganache 1.0.2 install , Version 1.0.1 went fine a month ago

[pszwec]

I typed "npm install" in the extracted Ganache folder on a Windows 10 computer. The install ran for a while but the last 50 lines or so had errors and warnings.

OK, I am in Windows and tried to debug. It's looks like something called sharp can't install. I have all the SDK tools installed. Like I wrote in the title, 1.0.1 installed perfectly. I will paste the last 50 lines of the install log as that's where the errors appeared. The 1st 10,000 lines started with silly or info.

I didn't uninstall Ganache 1.0.1 first but didn't see in the read me that I had to. I don't see Ganace in Control Panel, Programs so I don't know how to uninstall it anyway. (Other than delete the folder)

I also tried opening my command prompt as administrator and running it. Same result.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Peter

After Installing modules and building Linux packages [above commands working fine] when I try installing ganache via npm I see following error message:

I'm closing this issue as 1.0.2 is old, and we're about to release another version. @sahilsehgalinc if you still are having issues, please open a new issue

@amandiobm This seems to be a generic Electron bug: electron/electron#1518

They report that installing apt-get install libgconf-2-4 will mitigate the error you're having. Let me know if that works.

[amandiobm]

@seesemichaelj tks for the feedback. It works, everything is running. But I received this message.

Kind regards.

[mikeseese]

@amandiobm I believe that message shouldn't limit capabilities. I get a similar message (something like `Failed to load module "pantheon-file-chooser") for Gtk applications for elementary OS, but it hasn't affected me per se. A quick Google search found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/208431/failed-to-load-module-canberra-gtk-module

Further, you are aware that you don't need to build from source unless you're developing on Ganache, correct? You can find pre-built binaries for the latest version here
