installation fails

[veyga]

Reinstalling fury fails after a timeout:
0.000 java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Futures timed out after [120 seconds]
....
Error: Could not find or load main class fury.FuryServer

I've tried deleting all install/config related directories.

Perhaps related to #1408, this looks to be attributed to ipfs
cat ipfs .fury.conf
Error: ipfs repo needs migration

Before this leads down an ipfs rabbit hole, any ideas, or knowledge of this issue?

IPFS shouldn't be required to run the build any more, so given your problems with Bloop before, I wonder if that may be the cause. Have you had Bloop compiling anything successfully in between?

The failure to find FuryServer probably means that the installation failed to compile correctly, but went ahead and installed an empty tar file anyway... I thought we had fixed this issue in the Makefile, but it seems like it's still there... :( Check for any error messages when running make install.

There's a good way out, though: the version of Fury used for bootstrapping should be more reliable. You should install it using ./fury system install, and it will install a known-good version without needing to compile anything. If that isn't working, the problem most likely lies with Bloop. If you've definitely killed all running bloop instances, and it's still not working, the only place for the problem to be hiding is with Bloop's temporary files, and deleting the contents of .fury/*/ should fix it. N.B. don't delete .fury/config or .fury/layers.db though.

Make sure you don't use IPFS 0.5.0, as it isn't supported yet.

I think it was the IPFS version
