Installation error on Windows: zeromq@5.1.0 install

[pepicello]

Description:

Installation fails on windows, either via Atom GUI or cmd (apm). I noticed that the same error happens when running:

npm install zeromq

Steps to Reproduce:

apm install hydrogen --python [path-to-python2]

Versions:

OS Version: Windows 7 64bit
Atom Version: 1.38.2
Electron Version: 2.0.18
Node Version: 8.9.3
Hydrogen Version: 2.9.0 (latest)

Thank you!

Could you give me what apm --version says on your machine ?

[pepicello]

apm 2.1.7
npm 6.2.0
node 8.9.3 x64
atom 1.38.2
python
git
visual studio 2015

Seems fine. Can you try to reinstall with python 3 ?

[wadethestealth]

Python 2 has so known issues with hydrogen you can search all our issues to see info about it. Also just note that 2.10.2 is the latest version of hydrogen.

[pepicello]

I use Python 3 but I am using Python 2 for the installation as I otherwise get the same issues as in #1431. Regarding the version, I get the same results with 2.10.2.

I cannot seem to specify a specific version in apm, sadly, as this feature is still WIP (PR: atom/apm#773), but I remember having managed to install Hydrogen 2.6.0 (using Python 2) on the same system. This error happens either when updating, or on a fresh install.

[wadethestealth]

Just a quick question. When you launch atom are you able to run any hydrogen commands and get the red bug as described in our troubleshooting guide?

[pepicello]

On the working version of Atom + Hydrogen 2.6.0, Hydrogen works just fine, but if I run the update via GUI, I get this:

I recommend reading nodejs/node-gyp#1337 and nodejs/node-gyp#1268. They both seem to have work arounds for now. Seems like gyp needs to update from Python 2.7 but seems like they don't want/care to.

Also where they reference things like npm config you can use apm config to fix your issue

[pepicello]

Most workarounds in those issues involve the use of Python 2. I seem to successfully do that in my case (original log in the first post), and I still get that error.

I have found a similar issue: #1352, but the solution does not work for me (I do not have that key in the registry).

I think the problem runs deeper than this, as the log looks almost identical to others I have found around other node packages:

• npm fails install node v6.11.0 centos 6 zeromq/zeromq.js#177
• installing hydrogen via apm failed zeromq/zeromq.js#245
• npm run install:all errors wavebox/waveboxapp#454
• I got an error when i npm install in nodegit on windows10,please help me ! nodegit/nodegit#1471

It looks like it is some issue due to the compiler/visual studio. Since that is something I cannot change from my side, I might give up with updating Hydrogen. Thank you for your help, anyway.

[wadethestealth]

If you don't have that key you should set it. That why the error is showing up because it can't find the key
