Hello! I was trying to build back a native lilac.3 instance today, and I got the following error message: npm ERR! Error while executing: npm ERR! /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/edx/edx-ui-toolkit.git npm ERR! npm ERR! fatal: remote error: npm ERR! The unauthenticated git protoc…

It looks like a dependency in the insights package being installed by default which needs edx-ui-toolkit.git.

@jmbowman told me that they’re also hitting this in Maple trying to get an insights devstack image built. The same issue probably affects master.

Dear @sambapete , did you eventually find any solution to this problem? I am also facing the same issue (also stated here: Github - Connection timed out - #3 by kstefan ). If seems like a dependency in the insights package, do you know how I could overcome this? Best Regards, Kostas.

Dear @sambapete , thank you again for your interest. I also tried with lilac.3 release, but faced the same problem. My persistence with using the native install is due to the fact that I have more than 5 years of experience with native builds and it is a lot easier for me to manage. But I suppose …

The support for native builds is indeed over. For people like you or even I who had 7 years of experience with native builds, it can be difficult at times. But there are people willing to help if you ask questions here. Always remember that people will answer on their own time. The Tutor forum is n…

Dear @sambapete , thank you very much for your interest. It is a pity we found no solution for the lilac release. Probably Tutor is the way to go. Best Regards, Kostas.

With Lilac, you still had the choice between using Native or Tutor. Starting with Maple, only Tutor is supported.
