Troubleshooting
Prebuilt binaries, missing platform packages, shims that are not intercepting, and how to report a miss.
“no prebuilt binary for <platform>”#
DepWall ships a compiled binary per platform. Supported: macOS (arm64, x64), Linux (x64, arm64), Windows (x64).
“the platform package … is missing”#
The install skipped optional dependencies. Reinstall with them:
$ npm install -g depwall --include=optionalEvery install asks after I set an internal mirror#
Add the mirror host to DEPWALL_REGISTRY_ALLOWLIST — see private registries.
Shims are installed but nothing is intercepted#
The shim directory is probably not first on PATH. Run depwall init again, or check that ~/.depwall/shims precedes your package manager in echo $PATH.
Report a missed detection#
That is the most useful bug you can file: open an issue.
