Realm-js: Errors running npm install on Windows, missing files?

Created on 20 Nov 2016  路  23Comments  路  Source: realm/realm-js

Trying to use Realm in my React Native app on Windows 10. The output is pasted below. It seems like it's missing the realm pre built stuff for my node version?

Node: 6.9.1
npm: 3.10.8
(React Native: 0.37)

c:\code\ReduxNavigation>npm install realm --save

The following works for me on Windows 10 (Installing Realm 0.14.3 with [email protected] and React Native 0.39)

  1. Install the older version in the project folder
    npm install --save [email protected]

  2. Open node_modules/realm/package.json and remove this line:
    "postlink": "node_modules/realm/scripts/rnpm-postlink.js"

  3. Link
    react-native link realm

  4. Try your first component

import Realm from 'realm';

export default class TestProject extends Component {
  render() {     

    // Realm.clearTestState(); // Uncomment to drop/recreate database

    let realm = new Realm({
        schema: [{name: 'Dog', properties: {name: 'string'}}]
    });

   realm.write(() => {
     realm.create('Dog', {name: 'Rex'});
   });

   return (
     <View style={styles.container}>
       <Text style={styles.welcome}>
         Count of Dogs in Realm: {realm.objects('Dog').length}
       </Text>
     </View>   
    );
  }
}

DISCLAIMER: I don't recommend avoiding the post link step for production apps (just use a mac), but this at least will enable someone to get Realm working with Windows so they can play around with it until Windows is supported by the Realm install tools.

Getting the same result with Node 6.4.0 and npm 3.10.3.

mattisx picture mattisx on 20 Nov 2016

Same here node 6.9.0 and npm 3.10.9

We are aware of this problem. However, note that Windows is not supported on Node, and building RN apps on Windows currently seems to be a bit problematic as well. I'm looking into it.

kristiandupont picture kristiandupont on 21 Nov 2016

@kristiandupont Good to hear that you guys are on it. We haven't had any particular issues while developing RN on the Windows platform, but we are struggling to find a good local storage solution that works both for ios and android, and that supports encryption of data. I must release this project this week though, do you have a tip on what storage solution I could use?

mattisx picture mattisx on 21 Nov 2016

@mattisx I didn't mean to imply that there are general problems, only that we have them (see #633). I might be able to make it work this week but I would hate to be responsible for your project failing, so maybe you should look into other possibilities. I am not capable of advising on that though, sorry.

kristiandupont picture kristiandupont on 21 Nov 2016

@kristiandupont Fair enough. I will probably dust off my old mac if I can't find a solution that looks as good as Realm does. Good luck fixing the issues, cheering for you guys.

However, note that Windows is not supported on Node

@kristiandupont May one ask if it is on the roadmap ? To have Realm working with node & electron on Windows is high on our radar, and we are wondering if it is something to be expected in future releases...

ghost picture ghost on 24 Nov 2016

@ab335 it is. We want it for the C# sdk as well. However, we need to set up infrastructure for building our core first and implement a few things in realm/realm-object-store before it will work. So we can't give a timeline quite yet.

kristiandupont picture kristiandupont on 24 Nov 2016

@kristiandupont About how long does it take to solve the problem

zhouxin1233 picture zhouxin1233 on 26 Nov 2016

@zhouxin1233 the problem of installing for React Native on Windows is almost solved in #689, so that will be included in the next release that will probably be some time early December. As for using Realm on Windows (via Node or .Net), that's harder to say but we're working on it :-)

kristiandupont picture kristiandupont on 28 Nov 2016

@kristiandupont I am waiting too. Thanks

FWIW, I'm seeing the same install issue on a raspberry pi using node6/npm3 (and out of curiosity I also tried node4/npm2 and get the same install error).

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://static.realm.io/node-pre-gyp/realm-v0.15.0-node-v46-linux-arm.tar.gz

So, afaict, it's not just a Windows install issue (meanwhile, it installs as expected on my Macbook running 10.11.6).

the solution is to use node < 7. I use 6.9.5 now my project works very well

@MedinaGitHub even rolling back to node 6.9.5 didn't work for me.
any suggestions?
