Installation npm install error

gordy123 · March 7, 2017, 6:17pm

I followed instruction in https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe to install. It works on VM but when I followed exact instruction on AWS. It gave me the following error. I tried both latest and v6.1.0 release. They both failed the same way, Error log is shown below. I will appreciate any help. thanks.

That looks like a bit cryptic error message without much hint where the error might be…

When you run npm install in the root, it doesn’t actually do much. It only cds to the client directory and runs npm install there. So you could try if it helps if you manually cd client and then run npm install in the client directory. Also, might be good idea to clean node_modules directories.

So try these commands:

sharetribe> rm -rf node_modules
sharetribe> cd client
client> rm -rf node_modules
client> npm install

Please let me know if these commands solve the issue! If that’s the case, we might need to change the installation instructions a bit.

Having the same error here, only on AWS, have you solved it?

thanks

I tried this with a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 EC2 instance in Amazon. I followed the instructions here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions on how to install Node with package manager and got the npm install working.

I didn’t test the whole setup, but at least the npm install should work in Amazon.

I tried
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Hi gordy123,
I’m no expert more like “amateur eclaire” as we say in french and go with “trial and error” without really knowing why it works or not
At some point I had the same kind of error, I didn’t write down exactly why and how, but my “current working” install procedure on fresh EC2 AWS UBUNTU 16.04 instance for node 6.9 is:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 6.9.5

I do this before downloawding sharetribe so client dir doesn’t exist and I have to “reinstall” npm later.

If anyone has any enlightening comments on why it works please let me know!

gordy123 · April 12, 2017, 12:34am

Sorry it didn’t improve too much.
Here are the steps that I took to set up the environment.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 6.9.5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-software-properties libffi-dev nodejs
sudo apt-get install libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison libffi-dev
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install 2.3.1
rvm use 2.3.1 --default
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get update
gem update --system
gem install bundler
gem install rails -v 4.2
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-5.7 mysql-server-5.7
sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
git clone git://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe.git
cd sharetribe/
cp config/database.example.yml config/database.yml
cp config/config.example.yml config/config.yml
bundle install
npm install

then I got the same error at this point. Did I miss any steps ? Any help will be appreciated ?

thanks, Gordon

@gordy123
I more or less have the same procedure (the order of installs is some times different) but I am currently working on a modified version of sharetribe and seem to get some specific errors.

when I get this error in npm install “undefined: cd client && npm install” I do as rap1ds suggested

cd client
npm install

at this point either it works… great

or …I can have a new ERR
"ERROR in ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir ‘/home/ec2-user/sharetribe/client/node_modules/node-sass/vendor’
@ ./~/react-dates/css/styles.scss "

for this one
make sure you are in client dir and then

cd node_modules
npm rebuild node-sass
cd …/…
last one to get back to sharetribe dir

before doing bundle install I have configured my config.yml and database.yml files

Let me know how it goes
Xavier

Hi

Never had that can’t give any clue ( search google some seem to have had the same error), maybe best to startover clean!

Sorry can’t help on that

Hey so to fix this error you enter the following commands.
npm install -g npm@latest
once you have installed
execute the following command
npm install -g npm@4.2.0
You will then have no errors when you execute RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
