Trouble Getting Algokit to Run in Windows 11

[Jamest145]

Hi All,

I have been spending a few hours trying to get algokit up and running, and I just can't seem to get things working.

I don't know how to get npm installed, and python3 populated according to the algokit doctor:

• timestamp: 2024-03-31T20:58:57+00:00
• AlgoKit: 2.0.1
• AlgoKit Python: 3.12.2 (tags/v3.12.2:6abddd9, Feb 6 2024, 21:26:36) [MSC v.1937 64 bit (AMD64)] (location: C:\Users\james\pipx\venvs\algokit)

  Node.js is required for some Node.js-based templates;
  install via algokit project bootstrap within project directory, or via:

I have been able to run the smart contract hello world, but when I try to get it running in dappflow, I get a network request error:

Network request error. Received status 404 (Not Found): no transaction found for transaction id: XXOAPXUOZWLNSZIYUE6ZDAXN2SJYDN4ADKEERD72IF7LRPZQLWKA

Sorry about the stream of consciousness, but I have been trying to get this running for over four hours and not making much progress. Any pushes in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Suspect the dappflow issue is this: #470. So it probably means the transaction executed, but there is a slowdown in indexer and dappflow isn't waiting long enough for the transaction to come back.

Node.js you can install via the url it outputs: https://nodejs.dev/en/learn/how-to-install-nodejs/. You only need it if you want to do a web app or write smart contracts with TypeScript rather than Python.

python3 not being defined is fine since python is, that's only a warning.

@robdmoore Thank you very much for your response! I'll install Node.js.

As for the transaction error, that is something that is currently an issue, and that will be worked on by the protocol team if I understand correctly.

It’s not an error that should block you though, it’s just the indexer being slow - everything is working properly without error (dappflow just isn’t handling the slowness well)

Will close for now since we have a separate ticket to track the indexer problem, but feel free to loop back if you need anything clarified
