npm package maci-crypto latest version (v1.0.4) failed to install

[yuetloo]

Got the following error when installing the latest version of maci-crypto. Version v0.9.1 works fine, which is the version of the master branch. The error looks like coming from this line of the v1 branch.

error Command failed.

Hmm, I still have access to this repo but some of these circuits are not being actively maintained and should be moved instead of relying on another remote repo.

@yuetloo How can I reproduce it? If you failed during run lerna command, it could be suppressed by installing circomlib manually. Following is the example commands:

          git init circuits/node_modules/circomlib
          cd circuits/node_modules/circomlib
          git remote add origin https://github.com/weijiekoh/circomlib
          git -c protocol.version=2 fetch --no-tags --prune --progress --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 origin ac85e82c1914d47789e2032fb11ceb2cfdd38a2b
          git checkout --progress --force ac85e82c1914d47789e2032fb11ceb2cfdd38a2b
          rm -rf ./.git

@gurrpi , I have a sample next-app that demonstrates how to use the maci library to generate the maci key here as someone was asking how to use the library. It has a dependency on the maci-crypto. When I do yarn add maci-crypto in my project, it gave the error accessing weijiekoh repository. When I do yarn add [email protected], the install works and that's the version clrfund uses.

So, i think the solution is to remove/replace the reference to the weijiekoh's circomlib in the npm package that was published for v1.0.

I think replacing to https access to GitHub instead of git would fix an importing problem. I filed an issue to replace it: https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/maci/issues/472

BTW, its super cool to have such a demonstration 💚

As a temporary workaround, i run the following command to replace git with https in my local directory:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
yarn add maci-crypto
