Setup Libindy for Windows

prerequisites

  • Node (We have tested 17.0.1 and 16.8.0 and they both work, so those should be safe.)
  • Python 3+
  • VS 2022 Community, or better (With the Desktop Development with C++ installed)

Step 1.1: Downloading libindy

You can download the libindy from the repository here. This will download libindy and all its required dependencies.

Step 1.2: Extracting libindy

When it has been done downloading, navigate to your downloads folder and extract the lib directory to a permanent location. Remeber this path as it is required later.

Step 2: Add libindy to your environment variables

Go to your environment variables and click on new at the System variables. the name MUST be LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the value MUST be the path to the lib folder. This path is where you extracted the downloaded zip file to.

Step 3: Confirming the installation

After cloning, building and moving libindy, everything should be installed correctly to develop with Aries Framework JavaScript. To confirm this, execute the following script:

npx -p @aries-framework/node is-indy-installed

# OUTPUT: Libindy was installed correctly

If the output was anything else then that, there might be some issues with your installation. If the only step you did the step 1 and 2 from this article, please report this here with an error log.

To acquire this error log execute the following:

npm i @aries-framework/node
