Adapt Learning Community: Installation issue for Windows 10

Just wondering if I could get a little guidance on the installation of the adapt_authoring tool on my Laptop running Win10

I installed the framework no problem but the next step has proven to be an issue.

I have added the code as a pdf file (and rtf) as I didn't want to make this post a scroll fest for those who didn't want to see it.

I originally tried to install using the latest node.js but I have then re-installed it as the version 0.10.33.

Every time I hit the same problem.

When get to and run node install i get to this point

You will now be prompted to enter details for your tenant.
> Set a unique name for your tenant (master) localadapt
> Set the display name for your tenant (Master) Adapt Local

And there it stops, i have tried it numerous times with and without values in the config items to no avail.

Could someone please look at the code attached and let me know if I have done anything incorrect here or am missing something?

Thanks in advance

Hi Simon

From my understanding you need to use Node 4.2.4

So may be worth trying again after installing this version of Node:

npm install nodejs -version 4.2.4

Let me know if that resolves it

Hi Simon,

As Paul has mentioned, you need Node.js 4.2.x. The authoring tool will not work with earlier versions.

Also, your installation of MongoDB looks wrong. It's a pre-requisite for installation and must be installed per the OS specific instructions on the MongoDB website. Running npm install mongodb only installs the driver.

Somehow, when I finished setting my node as the 4.2.4 version through nvm, then tried to npm install & node install, it was still stucked. Now is getting worse, since the dependencies are unmet (and outdated?). Hm :-(

I figured it out! :-D

It is mongodb's storage permission. So, either we set our /data/db to be open for everyone, or free more spaces on this current partition (safer), or we move to another visible-secret place.

Now it runs smoothly until sign of "Compiling the Adapt authoring tool web application, please wait a moment ..." showing

Cmiiw.

Thanks to you both!

A new colleague has recommended this tool highly and it looks great so far.
