Unable to Install from npm (extract not completing)

[tomwanzek]

I am unable to install material-design-icons from npm.

When trying to install with npm version 3.10.3 (windows 10 machine), the extraction step:

\ extract:material-design-icons: sill doParallel extract 1

does not complete even after appr. 10min. The progress slash eventually stops spinning completely.

Your insights are most appreciated.

Yes, this is also happening to me.

node version: v6.4.0 npm version: 3.10.9

Same problem here System: windows 10 npm --version => 3.10.8 node --version => 6.9.1

[SpiritusDeos]

Same problem, npm version 3.8.6, node version v6.1.0

[AlexDmr]

It turns out that it took about 20mns to complete.... maybe one could split this large library inti multiple small ones?

[tomwanzek]

@AlexDmr thanks for the patience in investigating. For all intents and purposes 20min seems prohibitively long, i.p. if all one might need are the icon fonts for self-hosting.

[tomwanzek]

Is this going to be addressed?

Same problem here on OSX sierra: npm 3.10.9, node v6.9.2

Same problem Windows 10 pro, npm 4.0.2, node 6.9.1. It appears that the content loads into node_modules/staging, however the node_modules/material-design-icons folder is never generated

[miloslavnosek]

Same here, node 6.9.2 npm 4.0.3 Debian Jessie

[MichaelJata]

Same here with Win10, node 6.9.4, npm 4.1.2

After 20 minutes of installation, it shows several errors and ultimately does not get installed. Does anyone have a solution or any updates for installation on Windows 10, Node 6.10.0 and npm 3.10.10.

@davidgreens Why are you pinging matplotlib devs?

[azavisha]

I had the same problem with npm 3.x.x (don't remember the exact version). All I did to fix it was update npm to 4.3.0, remove node_modules directory, and run "npm install".

[datadidit]

Upgraded to 4.4.1 download is still taking quite a while.

[shankjn]

After upgrading to the latest versions of node and npm, I'm unable to install it.

[mankey-ru]

Still occurs. node v.6.9.5 npm v.4.4.4 Windows 10

Installing material-design-icons-iconfont solves this issue:

npm install material-design-icons-iconfont --save

//styles.scss
$material-design-icons-font-path: "~material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/fonts/";
@import "~material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons";

npm 3.10.10 node v6.10.0

@jestelle and @shyndman (simply mentioning you as main contributors):

This fairly fundamental issue has been open without any investigation of root cause and possible remediation for an extended period.

Is this repo still supported? Thanks for looking into it.

[jmauerhan]

This is still a problem.

[clusteratlas]

It's frustrating, but lol it worked somewhere around the 10th try.

Just persist <3

same problem using Yarn v0.27.5 @ win10

[tomwanzek]

The issue seems to be resolved. I have been able to install the lib in version 3.0.1 using npm. 🎉

[jmauerhan]

Still a problem on Windows 10.

@karser's solution above still works: https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/issues/518#issuecomment-290924590

[tomwanzek]

@jmauerhan The install takes appr. 4min for me. Windows 10, npm version 5.3.0. Slow, but at least working.

[mohammadkhoeini]

same here

[raspu]

Same here, still an issue

[srinek]

me too. npm install material-design-icons is not working.

Hi there, with ng 1.6 it works but with warning like

[raphaelstary]

still a problem in 2018 😢 (using node v9.4.0, npm 5.6.0 on ubuntu bash under windows 10 - using a folder within the win10 file system)

[vikiival]

Update for 2018:

It's possible to install this package, but you have to wait really long time (about 10 min).
