Can't install kdeploy

[ghost]

Very underrated OS. It runs stuff I can't run on an Android phone. I would like to build apps for it. However, not everything is working for me and I think it may be a bug.

I can npm install parcel-bundler without issue, but kdeploy will not install. I don't know where the kaiostech namespace is supposed to be, but there doesn't appear to be a kdeploy package in any case. I'm at a loss for how to proceed.

UPDATE: Filipe has made a new kdeploy repo here. Until the npm package is marked as mainline, it is installed like this:

npm install -g @filipe_x3/kdeploy

Kdeploy is listed on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/kdeploy

Minor edits to the package.json should make it work.

I modified package.json to reflect this. For what it's worth, here's my dev dependencies:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "7.2.0",
    "cssnano": "^4.1.10",
    "kdeploy": ">=0.8.5 <2.0.0",
    "parcel-bundler": "^1.6.1"
  },

Once I install parcel-bundler and kdeploy globally, it can build and launch in the browser without complaining. However, testing on a physical device is required, and I don't feel that I'm getting anywhere until that has been accomplished. You can enter debug mode by dialing *#*#debug#*#* and configure adb using the guide, but even though adb connects and the programs are installed, somehow nothing happens when I try to install using kdeploy.

No point submitting a PR if this basic thing won't happen.

@cloudspeech no longer exists.

What happened to kdeploy? It's gone from github and npm.

[ghost]

Yep, gone. Maybe @johnatandias can give some feedback?

[chenna-reddy]

Any updates on this?? Its still missing from repo.

[stephanebisson]

It doesn't look like it's coming back. kdeploy was a wrapper on https://github.com/fabricedesre/b2gclitool, which you can install and use directly.

Seems KaiOS is fairly dead then without the use of kdeploy?

[Filipe-Souza]

For anyone still searching for a possible "solution" for this, I was able to install it by a apparently chinese mirror from NPM, called CNPM.

I don't know what is the purpose of kdeploy, but it's a listed dependency, so I searched and managed to install it.

Even on cnpm, they list this package as missing and eventually it will be deleted from cnpm. But this is what I made for installing it:

• Host machine is OS X 10.14.6
• npm 6.14.4
• Node 14.1.0

1. First, install cnpm: npm install -g cnpm --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

2. After installing cnpm, delete any node_modules from the directory project and setup up a new project: cnpm init

3. After configuring a new project, add the development dependencies (in my case, this items): cnpm install --save-dev kdeploy @babel/core parcel-bundler

All setup, now kdeploy is installed.

@Filipe-Souza I've written off KaiOS by this point, but since you've successfully installed kdeploy, would you be inclined to mirror it on GitHub before it disappears?

There seems to be a Kubernetes-related project of the same name. In fact, it's a rather common project name on GitHub. In any case, it's sad to see another development ecosystem bite the dust.

@fluffrabbit Sure, I will search a way to do it properly on npm and post here soon.

Also, I'm not a expert on Kubernetes, but this project you linked looks promising, I will look into it for more details.

A source repo on GitHub would be great for anyone looking for this tool. Presumably it's all scripts.

I only mentioned that project because it shares the name kdeploy. It has nothing to do with this.

After some trouble with npm repository, here it is: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@filipe_x3/kdeploy

[ghost]

@Filipe-Souza You went above and beyond. Until the npm people get wind of this, the way to install it is:

sudo npm install -g @filipe_x3/kdeploy

I am getting some warnings, so there is maintenance to do in the future, but it does install.

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported. Contact [email protected] for more info.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported. Contact [email protected] for more info.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Use uuid module instead
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue

I'll keep this issue open for another couple weeks so people can find it.

Apply changes found at https://github.com/kaiostech/sample-react/commit/f143280d5cb8b7c456fb35628fd9cf4a043bcc3b and you should be able to run npm install.

I hate npm already.
