npm安装期间出现aframe错误

Question

I'm trying to install aframe and aframe-inspector. I tried every way for local development because I need to to something that requires the editing of the inspector. But every time I try to install it, it fails during npm install or npm start. For example, when I try to install aframe, it gives me error in npm install. For inspector during start. I didn't find help since I seem the only one that has this kind of errors. How can I solve? I just need to edit aframe-inspector and I don't know hot to do it without installing it and I don't know how to proceed even after but this seems the right way. I tried in ubuntu and in windows 10. Thx for future answers!

EDIT 1: I removed the part about the windows error. I don't need to make it work on windows, I don't want you to focus on that. I've got the last version of node.js. Here you can see what kind of error I have when I try to install it. Errors photos on drive

Here you can ses the log that I had when trying to install aframe with npm: Errors log while installing aframe

EDIT 2: I tried the same things on 2 different PCs in ubuntu. I also tried this aframe boilerplate . It didn't work either.

EDIT 3: I solved half of the problem. AFrame library now is working on local in my pc but the inspector isn't working. I solved the problem by updating node.js. I thought that was the last version because when I did sudo apt-get install nodejs my shell answered me that I had last version of node.js but it wasn't true. Then I had a doubt about it and I found on internet that I had to install NVM and then I had to install node with it. So now I just need to make the inspector work. I couldn't find a way for now (the error of the inspector is still the same).

EDIT 4: I also tried in windows and it didn't work. I got 3 errors in 3 different situations:
- trying git clone error with git clone ; Then, after npm install: - trying npm start without doing anything error on npm start
- trying after git init in the inspector after git init

Answer 1

I got an older aframe version (current is 0.8.0) installed on Windows. I could install it both on node 6.9.0 and node 8.10.0 (changing node version using nvm):

nvm use 8.10.0
npm cache verify
npm install aframe@0.7.0

Still I can't install current aframe@0.8.0, though.

I also did this change:

git config --system core.longpaths true

(Link to a similar issue) - while trying to get 0.8.0 installed.

Another option can be do download thee distribution from here and place it in your solution

Hope this can be to some help.

If you got an error about missing git, then you need to install git.

Check it out on the website . There are download links for windows, and terminal commands for ubuntu.

As far as i know git is necessary to fetch dependencies, so it should be a must have.

I solved the problem using windows but I think to understand what was the problem.
First of all, I couldn't clone the project so I downloaded it directly from the site. I think that in that way it couldn't work.
I couldn't clone the project because I'm a beginner with the use of git I think. I think that there are some problems with public keys/SHA that I don't know how to solve. For this reason, in Windows, I downloaded Github Desktop and I made it handle for me. In that way, it worked. I don't have the direct solution for ubuntu but I think that this can help someone.

If you do not plan to modify your local copy of A-Frame then directly using the minified version with <script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.7.0/aframe.min.js"></script> should be enough.

You can also just remix the existing Glitch in order to have a setup going live without setting up your own server.

On the other hand if you do want to modify A-Frame itself then yes you do need git to be installed and available in your path or using a GUI. Overall the toolchain relying on git , npm , etc is only necessary if you modify A-Frame and (arguably) provide value mostly if you are building a large project relying on those tools already.
