Installing cli tools for hyperledger composer

Question

I get that error when trying to install cli tools, I set up python version to 2.7 and I installed node-gyp but it didn't help

users-Air:~ user$ npm install -g composer-cli@0.20

/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v10.13.0/bin/composer -> /Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v10.13.0/lib/node_modules/composer-cli/cli.js

dtrace-provider@0.8.7 install /Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v10.13.0/lib/node_modules/composer-cli/node_modules/dtrace-provider

Answer 1

You are using node js version 10.x.x, which is not supported by Hyperledger.

Please install node js version 8.x.x.

It will solve your problem.

Note: Make sure that you are installing composer tools as non-root user. Install composer tools without sudo.
