# Migrating from npm global tool to binary installation
If you previously installed safe-chain as an npm global package, you need to migrate to the binary installation.
Depending on the version manager you're using, the uninstall process differs:
### Standard npm (no version manager)
1. **Clean up shell aliases:**
```bash
safe-chain teardown
```
2. **Restart your terminal**
3. **Uninstall the npm package:**
```bash
npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
4. **Install the binary version** (see [Installation](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/blob/main/README.md#installation))
### nvm (Node Version Manager)
**Important:** nvm installs global packages separately for each Node version, so safe-chain must be uninstalled from each version where it was installed.
1. **Clean up shell aliases:**
```bash
safe-chain teardown
```
2. **Restart your terminal**
3. **Uninstall from all Node versions:**
**Option A** - Automated script (recommended):
```bash
for version in $(nvm list | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'); do nvm use $version && npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain; done
```
**Option B** - Manual per version:
```bash
nvm use <version>
npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
Repeat for each Node version where safe-chain was installed.
4. **Install the binary version** (see [Installation](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/blob/main/README.md#installation))
### Volta
1. **Clean up shell aliases:**
```bash
safe-chain teardown
```
2. **Restart your terminal**
3. **Uninstall the Volta package:**
```bash
volta uninstall @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
4. **Install the binary version** (see [Installation](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/blob/main/README.md#installation))
## Troubleshooting
### Shell aliases still present after migration
1. Run `safe-chain teardown` (if the binary is installed)
2. Manually remove any safe-chain entries from your shell config files:
- Bash: `~/.bashrc`
- Zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Fish: `~/.config/fish/config.fish`
- PowerShell: `$PROFILE`
3. Restart your terminal
4. Re-run the install script
### "command not found: safe-chain" after migration
The binary installation directory (`~/.safe-chain/bin`) may not be in your PATH. Restart your terminal. If the problem persists: re-run the installation of safe-chain.

# Troubleshooting
This guide helps you diagnose and resolve common issues with Aikido Safe Chain.
## Verification & Diagnostics
### Check Installation
```bash
# Check version
safe-chain --version
```
### Verify Shell Integration
Run the verification command for your package manager:
```bash
npm safe-chain-verify
pnpm safe-chain-verify
pip safe-chain-verify
uv safe-chain-verify
# Any other supported package manager: {packagemanager} safe-chain-verify
```
Expected output: `OK: Safe-chain works!`
### Test Malware Blocking
Verify that malware detection is working:
**For JavaScript/Node.js:**
```bash
npm install safe-chain-test
```
**For Python:**
```bash
pip3 install safe-chain-pi-test
```
These test packages are flagged as malware and should be blocked by Safe Chain.
### Logging Options
Use logging flags to get more information:
```bash
# Verbose mode - detailed diagnostic output for troubleshooting
npm install express --safe-chain-logging=verbose
# Silent mode - suppress all output except malware blocking
npm install express --safe-chain-logging=silent
```
## Common Issues
### Shell Aliases Not Working After Installation
**Symptom:** Running `npm` shows regular npm instead of safe-chain wrapped version
**First step:** Restart your terminal (most common fix)
**Verify it's working:**
```bash
type npm
```
Should show: `npm is a function`
**If still not working:**
Check that your startup file sources safe-chain scripts from `~/.safe-chain/scripts/`:
- Bash: `~/.bashrc`
- Zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Fish: `~/.config/fish/config.fish`
- PowerShell: `$PROFILE`
### "Command Not Found: safe-chain"
**Symptom:** Binary not found in PATH
**First step:** Restart your terminal
**Check PATH:**
```bash
echo $PATH
```
Should include `~/.safe-chain/bin`
**If persists:** Re-run the installation script
### Shell Aliases Persist After Uninstallation
**Symptom:** safe-chain commands still active after running uninstall script
**Steps:**
1. Run `safe-chain teardown` (if binary still exists)
2. Restart your terminal
3. If still present, manually edit shell config files:
- Bash: `~/.bashrc`
- Zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Fish: `~/.config/fish/config.fish`
- PowerShell: `$PROFILE`
4. Remove lines that source scripts from `~/.safe-chain/scripts/`
5. Restart terminal again
## Manual Verification Steps
### Check Installation Status
```bash
# Check installation location (helps identify if installed via npm or as standalone binary)
which safe-chain
# Verify binary exists
ls ~/.safe-chain/bin/safe-chain
# Check version
safe-chain --version
# Test shell integration
type npm
type pip
```
**Expected `which` output:**
- Standalone binary (correct): `~/.safe-chain/bin/safe-chain` or `/Users/<username>/.safe-chain/bin/safe-chain`
- npm global (outdated): path containing `node_modules` or nvm version paths
If `which` shows an npm installation, see [Check for Conflicting Installations](#check-for-conflicting-installations).
### Check Shell Integration
```bash
# Which shell you're using
echo $SHELL
# Check if startup file sources safe-chain
# For Bash:
grep safe-chain ~/.bashrc
# For Zsh:
grep safe-chain ~/.zshrc
# For Fish:
grep safe-chain ~/.config/fish/config.fish
# Verify scripts exist
ls ~/.safe-chain/scripts/
```
### Check for Conflicting Installations
> **Note:** The install/uninstall scripts automatically detect and remove conflicting installations, but you can manually check:
```bash
# Check npm global
npm list -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
# Check Volta
volta list safe-chain
# Check nvm (all versions)
for version in $(nvm list | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'); do
nvm exec "$version" npm list -g @aikidosec/safe-chain 2>/dev/null && echo "Found in $version"
done
```
## Manual Cleanup
> **Note:** The install and uninstall scripts automatically handle these cleanup steps. Use these manual commands only if automatic cleanup fails.
### Remove npm Global Installation
```bash
npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
### Remove Volta Installation
```bash
volta uninstall @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
### Remove nvm Installations (All Versions)
```bash
# Automated approach
for version in $(nvm list | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'); do
nvm exec "$version" npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
done
# Or manual per version
nvm use <version>
npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
### Clean Shell Configuration Files
Manually remove safe-chain entries from:
- Bash: `~/.bashrc`
- Zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Fish: `~/.config/fish/config.fish`
- PowerShell: `$PROFILE`
Look for and remove:
- Lines sourcing from `~/.safe-chain/scripts/`
- Any safe-chain related function definitions
### Remove Installation Directory
```bash
rm -rf ~/.safe-chain
```
## Getting More Information
### Enable Verbose Logging
Get detailed diagnostic output:
```bash
npm install express --safe-chain-logging=verbose
pip install requests --safe-chain-logging=verbose
```
