I am trying to install package from git, which I forked earlier.
I try
npm i catsaredoomed/invest-openapi-js-sdk --save-dev
I've got
npm ERR! prepareGitDep 2> npm WARN install Usage of the `--dev` option is deprecated. Use `--also=dev` instead.
Moreover, this error even don't depend on flag I provided. I can set --save or don't provide at all, it persists anyway. Surely, --also=dev doesn't change this situation
UPD: npm -v 6.14.13
UPD 2:
It appears npm for whatever reason needs sudo to run this command (I didn't use sudo with npm any times before and all other packages for app were installed without sudo). So with sudo this command runs, but only to make new error
npm ERR! command git --no-replace-objects ls-remote ssh://git@github.com/catsaredoomed/invest-openapi-js-sdk.git
npm ERR! git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
For whatever reason when asking for public (!) repo it needs key
UPD 3: NodeJS (with npm) is installed through sudo dnf as Fedora module, git as usual sudo dnf install, nothing special
Seems it was compatibility issue. I updated npm like recommended from 6.14.13 to 7.20
npm install npm@latest -g
And all issues were gone
For whatever reason when asking for public (!) repo it needs key
But... An SSH URL would always require a public key in order to authenticate the user first, and then access the repository (which will be granted, since the repository is public).
If SSH is an issue:
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf ssh://git@github.com/
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git@github.com:
Or even:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf ssh://
That way, the npm command will use HTTPS URLs instead of SSH ones.
npm install # Install only production dependencies ("dependencies", not "devDependencies")
npm install --only=dev # Install only development dependencies ("devDependencies", not "dependencies")
