Installation freezes at "Creating an optimized production build..."

[B1ack1c3]

Hi,

I am trying to install CHIA on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (RAM 1GB + 7GB SWAP + HDD 400Go), the system seems to be frozen at this step "install-gui.sh" with this message :
"Creating an optimized production build..."

Thanks for your help

this can take a while, how long has it run?

Thanks a lot, I waited 4 hours and it's good now.
But I have a new error:
/chia-blockchain/chia-blockchain-gui/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared ob ject file: No such file or directory
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional log ging output above.

I solved this error with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libnss3-dev
I have some others I'll keep you posted...

Some intersting tips here for missing dependeces :

And also this :

sudo apt-get install -y libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libgbm-dev

To sum up, here it is the missing commands :
sudo apt-get install libnss3
sudo apt-get install libatk-bridge2.0-0
sudo apt-get install -y libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
sudo apt install libgtk-3-0
sudo apt-get install -y libgbm-dev

After that I see this message :

/home/user/chia-blockchain/app.asar.unpacked/daemon

A couple things here. Some people try to run this as root and Electron will not allow that. A surprisingly large number of people try to start the GUI on machines whose OSes are headless and don't have Desktop or equivalent GUI stacks. Examples include trying to run in Azure or AWS where the runners do not support desktop (easily)
