Having issues install either cordova-res or capacitor-assets using npm or yarn

jettechnologies · August 7, 2024, 8:32am

currently having to create a different splash and icon assets for the capacitor application i am working on, but everytime i try to install either cordova-res or capacitor-assests using either npm or yarn the sharp dependency used in the package would always return an error which would make the package not to be installed in my device.

I just tried and it is working just fine

npm install --save-dev @capacitor/assets

What version of Node are you running? Sharp requires the following:

Node-API v9 compatible runtime e.g. Node.js ^18.17.0 or >=20.3.0.

The libvips-8.14.5-win32-x64.tar.br binary is 7.7 MB. Where are you located? Can you download it by following the URL directly? How long does it take?

fetch-timeout default is 5 minutes.

jettechnologies · August 7, 2024, 3:59pm

is it possible to download it locally and utilizing it within the node_module folder or can i increase npm timeout to about 10minutes to fix the problem. and i stay in Nigeria in africa

twestrick · August 7, 2024, 4:05pm

You can increase the timeout by running the following:

# Set
npm config set fetch-timeout=600000 # 10 minutes

# Get
npm config get fetch-timeout

jettechnologies · August 7, 2024, 4:38pm

tried to install the @capacitor/assets package again using npm after increasing the timeout for npm but still getting the same error as i specified above. i have even tried to install sharp as a different package to ensure that its available within my package.json file and node_module. but it still doesnt enable the installation of capacitor/assets package. was checking the links been provided as a feedback from the error to ensure that i can read the documentation properly and ensure that i am working correctly
and i saw that i am doing it correctly. what else could be the possible cause again

jettechnologies · August 8, 2024, 11:04am

i have fixed the issue with the installation of @capacitor/assets. the issue occurred due to my poor network. thanks for the assistance
