Can't install Beaker

[quang-pham-1109]

I was trying to install Beaker using the command line and it got me this error:

error: failed to run custom build command for openssl-sys v0.9.90

After some googling I found out that I need to download OpenSSL to fix this issue, but even after downloading OpenSSL, I still get this error. I have stucked on this for quite a wile now, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

try using nix, it has beaker with openssl https://github.com/informalsystems/cosmos.nix

[dzmitry-lahoda]

oh but you are on windows. bad. install error: failed to run custom build command for openssl-sys v0.9.90 as it tells you. it is easy, just google and download

[dzmitry-lahoda]

in nix I set OPENSSL_NO_VENDOR=3 whatever that means - it works than.

Hey @dzmitry-lahoda do you know if beaker can be installed in windows 10 OS?
I am getting the following error on trying to install it in windows, i got the same error as listed above, then i installed strawberry perl now this is coming:
error[E0433]: failed to resolve: could not find unix in os
std::os::unix::fs::symlink("../.beaker", ".beaker")
| ^^^^ could not find unix in os

[dzmitry-lahoda]

i dunno
BUT
oh, tbh, even if you somehow manage to do so, all other cosmos tools will work either on linux or mac.

so imho start using wsl2 with vscode in wsl. it would work pretty well.

[dzmitry-lahoda]

after 2 years of WSL with Rust I just went 100% linux. Linux hardware support now is first class.

[dzmitry-lahoda]

Sorry for offtop, may be my suggestion add to README.md Use WSL2 on windows and done

[sibsaurabh]

Thanks for the response. I also generally prefer using linux, Adding to readme i think would be best.
