pm2 install on Windows (fix suggestion)

[cbernstein]

As you know, module installation has been broken on Windows. Here's a simple fix:

In file Modularizer.js,

• Add a require for 'os'
• At 'ugly hack', change the shelljs.exe line to:

  var no_errs = os.platform()==='win32'? ' 2> nul:' : ' 2> /dev/null';
  shelljs.exec('npm install ' + module_name + ' --prefix ' + cst.PM2_ROOT_PATH + no_errs, function(code) {

OK, looks like you already have this fixed in master as of yesterday but not yet in a release. Any idea when the next release will be?

I am facing the same issue, any fixes?

Where can i find Modularizer.js on win?

@serganus pm2-monit module does not exists
Try $ pm2 install pm2-server-monit

Else you can try PM2 v2:

$ npm install Unitech/pm2#development -g
$ pm2 update
$ pm2 install pm2-server-monit

@Unitech Tried but doesn't work

Check the output for pm2 install pm2-server-monit:

After dev ver 2.0.0-rc3 :

npm cache clean didn't worked for me

NPM version? Node.js version? PM2 version?

Have you tried with the PM2 on the development branch?

[cookie-ag]

@Unitech Yes i tried the development branch.

[cookie-ag]

2.15.8

Could you upgrade your npm?

$ npm install npm -g

Upgraded to 3.10.3 but same error

I got this error resolved by launching the npm install into a shell in Modularizer.js#L111 :

install_instance = spawn('npm', [
      'install', module_name, '--prefix', cst.PM2_ROOT_PATH, '--loglevel=error'
    ],{
      stdio : 'inherit',
      async : true,
      shell: true
    });

Maybe a windows specific behavior ?

@vmarchaud What do you mean by launching the npm install into a shell in Modularizer.js#L111?

[Unitech]

Windows fix from @vmarchaud has been merge to development branch,

$ npm install Unitech/pm2#development -g
$ pm2 update
$ pm2 install pm2-server-monit

Waiting for feedbacks

I tried to follow the steps and here is the output as screenshots. still not fixed :-(

[vmarchaud]

@serganus Can you give us your npm/node/pm2/windows exact version ?
Its seems that you dont have the lastest dev version because we dont have any git dependency since this morning and your first error seems to say that we do.

[cookie-ag]

• pm2 version is 2.0.0-rc3
• npm version is 3.1.0
• node version is 4.4.7
• Windows 7

I did the following but still same error.

pm2 kill
npm remove pm2 -g
npm cache clean
npm install Unitech/pm2#development -g
pm2 update
pm2 install pm2-server-monit

@serganus Working on node v6.X.X. If you want you can update to use it correctly while i'm debuging with node v4.X.X

[vmarchaud]

@serganus Merged on development branch, tested and working on my workstation, its good for you ?
