Failing to install holochain

Technical Discussion Getting Started
#1

Hi,

When I run nix-shell https://holochain.love, it runs, but there are various errors during the install. Can someone help?

The main nuch of errors seem to be here:

install: copying directory /nix/store/dn5ssvfrrm1262mzdfa3dx6zncwjssdw-rust/share/doc/rust/html

Rust is ready to roll.

And then when I run hc package, I get this error:

Iā€™d really like to get into this technology but it seems a minefield to even get it installed and set up.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi @PaulRadbone! Good to meet you.

So I donā€™t know what exact error you are having, but it looks like you are trying to get started with holochain redux, the old version of holochain. Iā€™m just saying this because this old version is now depecrated and everything is moving towards holochain RSM, here is the link to get started:

Although keep in mind, usability in holochain RSM is not great at the moment (there is no CLI or tooling, nor good documentation or tutorials) but all of this is getting ready at the moment.

#3

Thanks,

Iā€™ll give it a go!

Hi,

I get so far and then this command fails when trying to create configs.

[nix-shell:~/holochain]$ holochain -i

Hi!

So thatā€™s a weird error. What platform are you on? Linux is the best supported, I know there have been problems with the other ones.

You can also try installing it without nix-shell, but that would require you to install rust and cargo locally and do cargo install --path crates/holochain inside the repository folder.

#7

Iā€™m using linux under windows 10 WSL Ubuntu.

It think itā€™s an issue with the Rust install.

Iā€™ll have another go installing everything again later. 3rd times a charm? :slight_smile:

It doesnā€™t seem to matter which flavour of linux I use, the build fails :frowning:

Trying the same on OpenSuse:

paul@DESKTOP-OBS2054:~/holochain> cargo install --path crates/holochain

Oh no ideaā€¦ I havenā€™t encountered that issue.

As I said, right now things are still a little roughā€¦ I know people have had much better experiences with a linux virtual machine or native OS.

#10

Hi again,

I scrapped WSL and Iā€™ve tried with Ubuntu on a virtual machine. Everything worked and built as should this time - so note to others - WSL does not work at the moment with Holochain.

However, when I run up the Conductor, I get another error - can you help me with this?

Thanks,

Paul.

#11

Actually that error is not really anything bad, itā€™s just saying that the conductor is not finding the lair-keystore and running it on its own. So that conductor ready phrase means everything is working fine, itā€™s ready to be used.

HI I am having problems installing holochain on my MacBook Pro. The installation fails with the error shown below. Any help on how to resolve this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hey, there is work in progress on Holonix to include Holochain RSM. If you would like to try it out while we progress towards releasing it you can do so using the following command:

$(nix-build https://nightly.holochain.love --no-link -A pkgs.holonix)/bin/holonix

Please be aware of the changes of this unreleased version, which are being logged here: https://github.com/holochain/holonix/blob/develop/CHANGELOG-UNRELEASED.md
