🚀 npm Package Update Instructions

Quick Update (if already published before)

cd Wake/npm
npm publish

That's it! The package will be updated to version 0.1.4.

First Time Publishing

If this is your first time publishing:

# 1. Login to npm
npm login

# 2. Navigate to npm directory
cd Wake/npm

# 3. Publish the package
npm publish --access public

What's Been Fixed in v0.1.4

✅ Windows Compatibility Fixed

  • The "spawn UNKNOWN" error on Windows has been resolved
  • Binary wrapper now properly handles Windows process spawning
  • Better error messages for debugging

✅ Improved Installation

  • Better binary download verification
  • Shows binary size after download
  • Skips re-downloading if binary already exists
  • Better error handling for network issues

✅ Enhanced Debugging

  • Set WAKE_DEBUG=1 environment variable for verbose output
  • Shows binary path and existence status on errors

Testing the Fix

After publishing, test on Windows:

# Uninstall old version
npm uninstall -g @trywind/wake

# Install new version
npm install -g @trywind/wake

# Test it works
wake --help

Auto-Update Information

For users who already have the package installed:

  • They need to manually update: npm update -g @trywind/wake
  • npm does NOT auto-update global packages
  • Consider notifying users about the update

To check current npm version:

npm view @trywind/wake version

Troubleshooting

If you get any errors during publishing:

  1. "You cannot publish over the previously published versions"

    • The version has already been published
    • Bump the version in package.json to 0.1.5

  2. "402 Payment Required"

    • Add --access public flag when publishing

  3. "You do not have permission"

    • Make sure you're logged in: npm whoami

After Publishing

  1. Verify the package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@trywind/wake
  2. Test installation on a clean system
  3. Update any documentation if needed

Current Status:

  • GitHub Release: ✅ v0.1.4 created with binaries
  • npm Package: 📦 Ready to publish v0.1.4
  • Binaries: ✅ Linux and Windows available
