Insight DASH Blockchain Explorer

[raganius]

Hey there, UdjinM6, I believe you'll be able to help me here:

I am having a hard time trying to install an Insight Blockchain Explorer for DASH (https://github.com/UdjinM6/insight-api-dash). Although I am following the Quick Install, when I get to "$ npm install" i get this:

npm not ok

Lot's of errors, and a "npm not ok" at the end. Since yesterday I've been trying to figure out the problem, but I have not been able to identify what is causing it.

Can you help me?

I would like to provide a DASH Blockchain Explorer online. I've already got dashd running with "txindex=1" at the dash.conf, Node.js installed, and "INSIGHT_FORCE_RPC_SYNC=1" at the .bashrc.

Thanks

thelazier has his Insight block chain here: http://insight.dash.siampm.com/ for mainnet

and http://test.insight.dash.siampm.com/ for testnet. Maybe he can help you too.

Hello, raganius
Did you run this
git clone https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api && cd insight-api
as said in Quick Install ?
If yes, you did try to install insight for bitcoin not dash, The documentation is not modified yet on this repository.
You should run
git clone https://github.com/UdjinM6/insight-api-dash && cd insight-api-dash

This "insight-api-dash is only api, If you want to run the insight for dash website , you need clone of insight repository and modified for Dash , ex : https://github.com/thelazier/insight-dash

Thank you moli! Thank you thelazier, that's exactly what happened: I simply followed the "quick install" instructions. Now I'll try doing it the way you say here, and I'll let you know if it worked :smile: (sad that I'll not be able to do it right now, because - as usual - my home Internet is not working typical in Brazil)

Cheers!

Edit: I've done as you said, thelazier, but the erros persist. Now I'll try rebooting the vps machine, and starting all over, because it may help.

Edit 2: It still did not work. I'll have to review what I've done, and redo everything from start. I suspect it is something with my VPS. As soon as I have any progresses I'll update this thread.

Thanks guys!
