wasm-pack should be installed automatically in a postinstall step. The command being invoked is:

wasm-pack --version | grep -q '0.12.1' || cargo install 'wasm-pack' --version '0.12.1' --locked --force

We'll take a look at what might be going on here; thanks for opening this PR.

Hi @viktor-evdokimov and thanks for opening this Pull Request.

Could you post the steps you did in order to install HASH? It's required to run yarn install from the root first. This should install all relevant packages. yarn install will run a post-install step which will check for the current version of wasm-pack and install it via cargo (as mentioned by @nonparibus above) in the case the version does not match the specified version or if wasm-pack is not installed at all. If yarn install does not install wasm-pack for you could you please post the output of the error?

I did run yarn install and it was failing, until i installed two dependencies, after which it worked. And i realized i should've add it before yarn install in the doc to fix problem I had, not after

@viktor-evdokimov We've had a few attempts at replicating this without success. Please could you uninstall wasm-pack, clone the repo again, run yarn install from the root, and paste the output here? We'd like to reproduce and figure out what's actually going on here/why it might not be working, and address that issue.

As wasm-pack is supposed to be installed through cargo install (the package manager for Rust) I wonder if that is missing for you. I noticed, that this is currently not listed as a dependency. Do you have Rust installed?

Hi @viktor-evdokimov, any luck re: the above? We'll close this PR out in a ~week or so if we don't hear back. Thanks!

Hi @viktor-evdokimov. As we were not able to reproduce the issue and it's likely that the issue happened due to a missing Rust installation we're going to close this PR. Please feel free to re-open it if the issue persists 🙂
