Dead link in demo docs

[bryce-mcmath]

In the demo guide, there is a section for platform specific setup. https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/tree/main/demo#platform-specific-setup

The only link for NodeJS in this section results in essentially a 404 page:

Thanks for raising this up. I guess it should go to https://aries.js.org/guides/0.4/getting-started/prerequisites. For the moment, when running the demo from this repo we need to install also indy-sdk (even if not used for it), so you'll need to follow https://aries.js.org/guides/0.4/getting-started/set-up/indy-sdk#installing-the-indy-sdk.

Hopefully we'll fix this setup very soon (@TimoGlastra @berendsliedrecht please go ahead with the new shared component JS wrappers releases 🙏 🥺 😄 )!

[bryce-mcmath]

@genaris Not sure if this should be a separate issue or if I've just made a common blunder, but the install is failing even after following the indy-sdk guide.

Mac: Ventura 13.5.2 (Intel)

Tried from both the root of the project and from the demo folder, same result.

[genaris]

Oh that's sad 😞 . Clearly the key line there is ld: library not found for -lindy. @berendsliedrecht any idea what can be the reason for is-indy-installed to pass and not being able to find the libindy afterwards?

BTW a few weeks ago I've set up a separated repo extracting the demo (as a colleague of mine had issues as well), so it does not require Indy SDK: https://github.com/genaris/aries-framework-javascript-demo. It's slightly outdated but maybe can help you if you just want to start playing around with AFJ.

[bryce-mcmath]

I'll check it out and help if I can! Thank you.

[berendsliedrecht]

Hmm. It could simply be just to clean the project and reinstall everything. We is-indy-installed script uses the same way to access Indy as all the other projects (including the demo) so to me it seems something needs to be revalidated.

[bryce-mcmath]

For @berendsliedrecht:
Is there any specific output for is-indy-installed that I should be looking for? For me it just installs a few packages and then exits without errors.

I tried switching to node v18.18.0 and doing a fresh clone and install. Ever so slightly different error but I also got a warning before the error, not sure if it will be helpful.

Is there another way to add indy-sdk than brew install blu3beri/libindy/libindy?

For @genaris:
I get this error when I try to install your non-indy-sdk demo. I notice that ref-napi has a unique resolution in package.json is there anything special I need to do for that package?

I couldn't reproduce neither in my Macbook Pro M1 or in my x86_64 Linux box (even using the same npm and node versions as you), but I'm running into the same issue when attempting to create a Docker image based on node:lts. According to them, the problem can be related to the upgrade from npm 9.7.2 to 9.8.1:

• node-gyp failing when trying to install ffi-napi nodejs/node#49737
• [BUG] node-gyp fails to spawn (9.7.2 - 9.8.1) npm/cli#6842
