Issues starting with: Command failed: /bin/sh -c which dataserv-client

[Jzarecta]

I get this message upon build, I did the compilation and npm start and the UI showed up but then it didnt find the dataserv-client. This is the output when compiling.

npm install

os? driveshare-gui branch?

[Jzarecta]

Archlinux, I was following the readme.

git clone https://github.com/Storj/driveshare-gui.git && cd driveshare-gui
npm install
npm start

I got the window UI with this message: "Command failed: /bin/sh -c which dataserv-client"

[littleskunk]

duplicate #45

Wait for the next release or try it with the develop branch.
git clone https://github.com/Storj/driveshare-gui.git -b develop

@Jzarecta you'll need to be sure to install the deps listed in the resources/Linux/DEBIAN/control and resources/Linux/DEBIAN/postinstfrom Arch's repositories. If I have some time, I may create a bundle that is compatible with pacman, or I'd happily accept a pull request that adds support.

[lilyannehall]

In the meantime, I will spend a little more time on the documentation.

Another note: while working on the Debian package support, I discovered that different distributions (or perhaps different shells) report errors back to Node differently.

For instance, on my primary workstation running Debian Sid and using zsh as my shell, the which program informs Node that the command returns no result on stderr and on Ubuntu 14.04 using bash, Node bubbles a "command failed" Error, which the UI interprets as fatal instead of "dataserv not installed" and moving forward with the install.

Fortunately, this doesn't matter anymore as GNU/Linux dependency management is all handled though the Debian package instead of on first run from within the UI. However this does put an extra installation step for users of distros like Arch that do not use APT.

The solution here is to update the documentation for building from source on non-debian distributions.

I never even get the window ui when running npm start. I am on Windows 10.
