These instructions were tested on
macOS Monterey Version 12.3
Apple M1 Max
nodejs v16.14.2
npm 8.5.0
The current (April 19th 2022) main branch of streamr-network-monorepo does not install out-of-the-box on an Apple Silicon Mac using npm ci, but rather requires deleting the
package-lock.json file, and installing from scratch using npm install.
Running npm install also requires a couple of preparations, because
- Python 2 is not available by default on macOS 12.3 (which prevents the package weak-napi from compiling)
- Package node-datachannel does not come with pre-compiled Apple Silicon binaries, and gets recompiled
- Install Homebrew with XCode command line tools: https://mac.install.guide/commandlinetools/3.html
- Install python 2.7:
brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.18
cat 2.7.18 > ~/.pyenv/version
Make sure that the python installation works:
% python --version
Python 2.7.18
- Install the prerequsites for compiling node-datachannel:
brew install openssl
brew install cmake
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1n/
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1n/include
- Install network-monorepo from scratch:
npm install
