Gzweb: npm install error

#1

Hi,

I am trying to do a clean installation of the platform from the bitbucket repository.

In the step “8. Install Gzweb”, when trying to build gzweb (step 8.4) by means of:

cd $HBP # your NRP source code directory
cd gzweb
npm install

I am getting this error as output:

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-93-generic
npm ERR! argv “/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v7.10.1/bin/node” “/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v7.10.1/bin/npm” “install”

I have checked the log file but I cannot identify what is the problem. Any suggestions?

Have a good day.

Kind regards,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Could you try the following?

nvm install 7.5
nvm alias default 7.5

And then try the npm install again?

Hi Carlos,

Could you paste the contents of the file /home/silvia/NRP/gzweb/npm-debug.log

Also, could you paste the contents of $NRP/gzweb/package.json

Hi Manos,

The contents of the file /home/silvia/NRP/gzweb/npm-debug.log and $NRP/gzweb/package.json can be found here (the size of the text was too large, sorry for the inconvenience):

Hi Carlos,

Could you tru to rm -rf node_modules

And then do the npm install again?

Manos

Hi Manos,

There is no node_modules in the $NRP/gzweb directory only in the home directory. The npm install still does not work.

Kind regards,

Hi Carlos,

This is weird I must admit, I will try to have another developer take a look at the problem.
