Hi @jopemachine. Can you help me? I have this error when download workflow.
I'm on Monterey 12.0.1

Hi @jopemachine. Can you help me? I have this error when download workflow.

Sure, I think it's a good idea to create a separate distribution file with alfredworkflow.

I saw many people had difficulty in installing their workflow through npm.

I think I better upload this workflow's alfredworkflow file if possible.

Could you let me know your node version?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. My node's on v17.0.1. NPM is 8.1.3

@jopemachine Hi. Can you help me?

@jopemachine Hi. Can you help me?

I'm sorry for disappearing for a while.

I'm quite busy with several personal issues these days, so I can't pay attention.

I think the below error message shows what is the problem.

npm ERR! command sh -c prebuild-install || npm run build-release
npm ERR! prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=17.0.1 runtime=node arch=x64 libc= platform=darwin)

Could you try reinstalling the workflow through Node's lower version?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I tried install node ver 16 and i can download the workflow and it work. Seem like the workflow does not work on node ver 17.

Just passing by: this is a bug in npm 8.1.3 npm/cli#4015

[rulatir]

So the real issue is that:

• it's npm 8.1.3 that effectively cannot build binary modules in the context of a global install,
• node 17 upgrade is a red herring - all it does is trigger the necessity to rebuild binary modules, and therefore
• this issue would manifest on any node version upon an attempted global install of a never perviously installed package that builds binary modules

Is this more or less correct?

[jopemachine]

I reimplemented this workflow in the below repository to avoid these kinds of installation issues.
