Now I am getting blocked on the API rate limit at Github!
on my laptop, which is not on the corporate network...
all being seen from one, non-authenticated, IP address
I'll try the manual instructions...
Blocked because: "Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "MED Safe Sites;Software Downloads;Content Servers""
Guess its the "Software Downloads" bit
Okay, got the binary onto the computer. Now I get a more serious error:
finlay@triage-lab:~$ nixster --help
pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1185
throw error;
^
Error: Cannot find module '../build/better_sqlite3.node'
1) If you want to compile the package/file into executable, please pay attention to compilation warnings and specify a literal in 'require' call. 2) If you don't want to compile the package/file into executable and want to 'require' it from filesystem (likely plugin), specify an absolute path in 'require' call using process.cwd() or process.execPath.

That looks like it needs to have a access to a sqlite3 db somewhere ?
-rwxr-xr-x 1 finlay finlay 56M May 16 10:45 /usr/local/bin/nixster
Does that look to be right size ?
hmm, annoyingly it works fine on my 16.04 laptop...
with the exact same file
it looks like it can't find the binary node module that provides the sqlite bindings
This is what I get:
> ls .local/bin/node_modules
better-sqlite3/ integer/ node-pty/Those modules (which have native binaries) are unpacked when you first run the nixster binary (we need to put them in a better place)
So if I run it in .local/bin it unpacks the files into .local/bin/
but, I put the file into /user/local/bin/
and it couldn't do that
file permissions etc.
but, I ran it with sudo, and now it works without sudo
Maybe the installer should extract the files at the same time ?
I now have a functioning nixster on the commandline!
Can I get override the 'envs' directory ?
I would like to save the yaml file locally...
finlay @finlay causes lots of trouble ...
Added a couple actually
