I am trying to get my hyperledger dev environment up and running but I run into issues. the step that fails is the installation on hfc. The OS I am using is Ubuntu 20.04

I am following the instructions as provided here which is pretty straightforward. the first command immediately fails however: npm install -g hfc

This is the output I get:

npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! An unknown git error occurred
npm ERR! command git --no-replace-objects ls-remote ssh://git@github.com/mcavage/node-asn1.git
npm ERR! git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Please make sure you have the correct access rights
npm ERR! and the repository exists.

I have checked the ssh certificates which were missing and have generated these. Checked the file permissions on the certificates as well and these are what they should be.

Next I checked the presence of the referenced git repository (mcavage/node-asn1.git) and I can not find it.

So my question: Am I still missing credentials to actually see the repository? Or has the repo been renamed? Or am I missing something else?

  • https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/node-asn1 exists. It is your keys that are not setup correctly. Can take a look at this answer to try to debug your ssh connection: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38706495/887539 – Andreas Louv May 04 '22 at 06:48
  • Thanks @AndreasLouv, I did some more browsing on the SSH keys. Got it sorted now. – Hans Van Velzen May 05 '22 at 23:17
  • I'm happy that you figured it out. – Andreas Louv May 06 '22 at 07:18
  • Did some more research after new issues came up. The key issue for my problem was that node (and npm) had been installed using a different account. Found that the preferred way to go about this is the use of nvm: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm – Hans Van Velzen May 11 '22 at 02:12
