Limitations#

"git-documentdb-plugin-remote-nodegit" in devDependencies may invoke errors when you do not install a native compiler.

Follow the instructions below to set up the compiler, or omit the "git-documentdb-plugin-remote-nodegit" package from the devDependencies because this package is only needed in 'npm run test-plugin'

Preparation to build "git-documentdb-plugin-remote-nodegit"#

Building this package in a Windows 32bit environment is limited due to a NodeGit issue.

This package contains a native module (libgit2) derived from NodeGit. If you receive errors about installation, you probably miss building tools and libraries.

In Ubuntu 18:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libkrb5-dev libc++-dev

In Windows 10:

The list below shows typical environments.

  • Node.js 12-16, Python 2.7.x, and Visual Studio 2017 Community (with Desktop development with C++).
  • npm config set msvs_version 2017

If you are still encountering install problems, documents about NodeGit and Building NodeGit from source may also help you.
