How do I obtain support?
Visit the Axway Support site to view the knowledge-base, product articles, and browse existing cases. You can also pose questions on the Axway Community site to get answers from support agents, but also other API Builder users.
For issues that require an analysis of your project, we will need a copy of the project you are working on (without the node_modules directory) and any logging that you have captured when the problem occurred.
Which versions of npm and Node.js should I use?
You should have npm (recommended minimum 8), and Node.js (recommended minimum v16) installed.
API Builder v4 maintains compatibility with a minimum of Node.js v16, however, using a version older than v16 is not recommended. See the Node.js support policy for more information.
I get errors during npm install saying I need python installed
This can happen when installing API Builder and plugins using npm and is a warning which can be safely ignored. To bypass the warning, you can run npm install with the following flag:
npm install --no-optional
