Yes, even if it's really weird because of not being https, in the same (Windows VirtualBox virtualized) system, using python in the console I get the same result:
In the linux hosting the virtual machines it works ok, so this could be related to being virtual machines. I'll try later on a "real" windows machine and report back. |
OK, the installer worked ok in a "real" windows 7 machine, but not in any of the VM I was using for testing, giving the SSL certification validation error in all of them. So I guess this should be a VirtualBox related issue, and a strange one indeed as make gets downloaded and installed but nano raises this error when trying to be downloaded. |
Well right now nano-editor.org appears to be down entirely. Appears to be a DNS issue?? |
Well it turns out nano-editor.org redirects all http requests to https, so that also makes the "fix" for #48 not useful--even though it's now downloading SQLite over HTTP there's no way to not download nano over HTTPS. Which frankly is a good thing. Ultimately I don't think the installer should be downloading anything--all files should be bundled in the installer executable itself, and that would take care of this. See #56 |
Bumped into this issue during a workshop. It was not easy to figure out what the problem was. The only clue we had was: "I ran the installer, but I still don't have nano". In the end we found out the installer was actually giving an error, and that it had to do with I agree that a bundled installer would be a good fix, but while that gets implemented, is it possible to have better error handling to make it easier to figure out what is the issue? |
When running the installer, as it tries to download nano I get the error:
I can circumvent this bypassing the SSL verification step as described in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36600583/python-3-urllib-ignore-ssl-certificate-verification, but I don't know if this is a proper solution. Any ideas?
