Wrangler unable to be installed #3

ankit8697 · 2020-04-15T01:31:41Z

I've used NPM to install wrangler but every time I try to use the CLI, I get the following message:

      throw `You have not installed ${this.name ? this.name : "this package"}`;
      ^
You have not installed wrangler

I'm not sure how to fix this. I tried searching for a solution online and in the wrangler docs but couldn't find anything. What should I do?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

BrChung · 2020-04-15T02:44:20Z

I would double check your Node/NPM version. There are alternative ways to install Wrangler such as Cargo. See here.

jialin-wu-02 · 2020-04-15T04:55:07Z

Relevant Issue here: wrangler#240

ankit8697 · 2020-04-15T05:45:31Z

I've tried using Cargo and I've tried all the recommendations in wrangler#240 but none of them worked for me.

paridhikhaitan · 2020-04-15T05:50:33Z

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling npm from your system.

karakotineeraj · 2020-04-15T06:38:37Z

I am having trouble installling wrangler on my computer as well.
None of the methods seem to work on my computer.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

zllovesuki · 2020-04-15T11:12:19Z

If npm nor cargo works, try doing the manual installation method and put the binary in your PATH (remember to +x).

If you have to, install nvm and use nvm to manage your nodejs installation instead of using nodejs from the OS package manager, then npm -g should work.

SaipranavK · 2020-04-15T13:23:01Z

Check if a package.json exists at project root.
If not, then create one with:
npm install -g express
npm init -y

then
npm uninstall -g @cloudflare/wrangler && npm install -g @cloudflare/wrangler

works on Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa'

cloudflare-internship-2020 · 2020-04-15T16:10:54Z

If anyone is still seeing issues with installing wrangler, we'd like to help. Please open a github issue against the wrangler project and walk us through what you're seeing. Aly

If you have to, install nvm and use nvm to manage your nodejs installation instead of using nodejs from the OS package manager, then npm -g should work.

So using npm and cargo both put wrangler in my path, but every time I try to use it I get the same error as before which says that you have not installed wrangler. So it's in my path but using it says that I haven't installed it.

Here is the full trace:

zllovesuki · 2020-04-15T18:27:02Z

Looking at your path structure, I assume you are on macOS. How did you install nodejs? Via brew?

ankit8697 · 2020-04-15T19:10:06Z

Yeah I used brew. Though after seeing people tell me to use nvm I used nvm to install it.

zllovesuki · 2020-04-15T19:12:06Z

Did nvm solve your problem (after uninstalling the brew version)?

ankit8697 · 2020-04-15T19:14:35Z

No it didn't. I've tried all the suggestions people gave but none of them worked.

zllovesuki · 2020-04-15T19:19:57Z

Did you git clone your fork of the project?
How does the folder hierarchy look like for your project? Is there a package.json in your project folder?

EDIT: wait nvm, looks like you try to do the wrangler generate route.

ankit8697 · 2020-04-15T19:22:46Z

Yeah, but I can try cloning the project and trying to use it that way. Though I doubt that will help in any way.

zllovesuki · 2020-04-15T19:23:57Z

Well there’s only one way to find out 😅

ankit8697 · 2020-04-15T20:22:44Z

Didn't fix it. I think I'll try to uninstall a bunch of things and then reinstall everything again after. See what happens.

@karakotineeraj @ankit8697
How comfortable are you with remote development? If your local development env is giving you a headache, you can try doing the development on a remote machine. After you are done with the project, then you can try and figure out what went wrong on your local machine, and work with CF to find out what is causing the issue.

You can host an dev instance for free:
https://education.github.com/pack - This also gives your credit to register a domain, easy extra credit ;)
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/education/
https://aws.amazon.com/education/awseducate/

It will also be a great opportunity to get familiar with the backend side of things (it's "fullstack" after all).

Sounds good. I'll try these out

zllovesuki · 2020-04-15T22:22:34Z

@cloudflare-internship-2020 Relevant issue with binary-install: EverlastingBugstopper/binary-install#3

EDIT: It seems that it is universal with non-nvm installation. CF's official recommendation is to use nvm to manage node installation instead of package manager.

For future reference:
If you are looking at this in future and running into the same problem, try installing nvm, and remember to source your new .bashrc (if using bash). Then do npm -g @cloudflare/wrangler

If that fails, come back later. Meanwhile, try to do your development remotely.

Swatilekha-Roy · 2020-10-13T10:45:03Z

Hi, @zllovesuki , I have tried everything that you said here religiously but it still seems to not work. I tried the nvm method too, sourced bash and when I try npm -g @clloudflare/wrangler, this is all I keep seeing.
/usr/local/bin/wrangler -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@cloudflare/wrangler/run-wrangler.js

@cloudflare/wrangler@1.11.0 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@cloudflare/wrangler
node ./install-wrangler.js

The 'Downloading release' does not start. Could you please help me out? Also, which remote development platform do you recommend most? Thanks a lot.

nataliescottdavidson · 2020-10-14T15:50:15Z

The issue is tracked here. You should always be able to install and use wrangler locally- this is a problem on our end and we've prioritized getting a fix in.

Swatilekha-Roy · 2020-10-14T16:09:01Z

Thanks a lot for the link! However, could you please clarify where exactly to find a zonal id for a workers.dev subdomain? Could you kindly tell me- all the online articles refer to a dash with Cloudflare Apps, which are not accessible. Without the zonal id, I can't build the project because the .toml file is not getting detected. At the same time, if I am trying to run wrangler init, and building then, the package.json file isn't getting detected. Thanks!

@Swatilekha-Roy you don't need a zone id or routes if workers_dev = true in your wrangler.toml. The workers docs live here https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/.

Swatilekha-Roy · 2020-10-14T16:29:16Z

Hi Natalie, Thanks for the update on the zonal id! Sorry to bug you again but, as mentioned in my previous question, when I try wrangler preview --watch, I keep getting "Error: Your Javascript project is missing a 'package.json' file; is /home/swatilekha/hello' the wrong directory?" The path of file is correct, so there is a problem with package.json file, because it is there in the Hello directory, but is not getting detected. Also, I have gone through the cloudflare worker documentation through and through thrice. But I am still seeing these bugs.

I've tried everything and finally, this worked for me.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.4

Install wrangler with this command npm install -g @cloudflare/wrangler as suggested in docs
If you see this error You have not installed wrangler then follow steps 3 and 4 else you can skip the below steps
navigate to this location /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@cloudflare/wrangler on terminal with this command cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@cloudflare/wrangler
Finally run this command node install-wrangler.js
