Wont install on Windows7

[GayathriKaliyamoorthy]

Hi
Currently, Aerospike node.js client is not supported on windows 7.
For the list of supported OS's refer the README here.
https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-nodejs/blob/master/README.md

Aerospike C# API and Aerospike libevent is compatible with windows platform.

Thanks

@GayathriKaliyamoorthy : Thnxx for your quick reply.
I am using NodeJS on Windows7 machine and want to connect Aerospike DB so How could I perform this?

[GayathriKaliyamoorthy]

Sorry we do not support windows platform currently. Will notify when support windows7.

Thanks

[ankurjasoria]

If I'll connect Linux Machine from Window7 then Could I perform my Work?

[GayathriKaliyamoorthy]

If you are running your application in a linux machine, then this will work.

Will leave this open for future feature enhancement, even though currently there is no timeline.

Is there any news on this? We were planning to use Aerospike on our next project but we'll fallback to Redis again because of this issue. Hope you have a timeline now. Thanks

@ankurjasoria @ualtinok if you know you will be running on Windows, you can use edge.js as a shim to the .Net client. Which may be your best bet as an interim solution... I've used it (edge.js) before, and its' pretty straight forward.

I too wish that the aerospike client for node used a JS interface, instead of the C interface, which would be less problematic, and easier to support across platforms (at a potentially modest performance cost).

[ualtinok]

@tracker1 Nice workaround. We'll only use Windows for development so I will check on that if it's a viable option. Thanks

I would like to use Aerospike too.

We use Debian / Gentoo / Ubuntu servers however a few of our developers work on Windows.

I dont mind not being able to run the server on windows. But this package not supporting Windows is a huge drawback.

I am willing to try my own hand at supporting this would anyone be willing to give me any direction on what might need to be done to accomplish this?

@nullivex so try to use vagrant and install aerospike-client-nodejs there and also develop there.

[jhecking]

Closing this old issue.

Another option to using Vagrant on Windows is to use the (relatively new) Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) (a.k.a. "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows"). While Aerospike does not officially support this, informal testing so far has shown that this solution works quite well.

I think docker /vagrant can solve your problem.
