Adapt Learning Community: Linux Install Authoring - Failed at the nodegit@0.16.0 install script

Hi there.

installing on a ubuntu 16.04 and following the steps of :

https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/wiki/Install-on-Server

Running sudo npm install -g adapt-cli

Yields the following message.

Was my question off topic, unclear or nobody as the answer ?

Cheers

Nope, we've just all been very busy (or on holiday) I suspect!

What version of node are you using? It may be that it's either too new or too old.. I don't use the authoring tool so I'm not best placed to tell, maybe ask in the authoring tool Gitter chat ?

Hi Matt.

thanks for the lead :)

No problem. Did you resolve this or it is still occurring?

Hello Bruno,

me too I'm experiencing the same issue you have... Did you find a solution for it?

Thanks for help.

I launched via

ps :: I have poor knowldege of the framework and this new trend of package mannagers like npm.

Can I just check you're prefixing any command line commands with sudo (or running as an account with superuser privileges)?

That said, we did a bit of checking earlier today on the adapt-cli installation process and it does seem to have some issues at the moment on *nix systems, we're trying to secure some time for someone to investigate but this close to Christmas we're a bit short on volunteers!

It looks like your install might have got past that and more into the authoring tool part of the process which I'm afraid I'm not at all knowledgeable about...

Hi Bruno -

Before node install did you try sudo npm install as it will install all the required modules and dependencies to execute node install correctly.

Thanks!

Regards,

Aniket

Hi Both,

thanks for your inputs and support which gave me the will not to give up ;)

Command ran with sudo and failed @ same level.

Reading the log I see :

55070 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
55070 error node lifecycleScripts/preinstall && node lifecycleScripts/install

On ubuntu 16.04 node is renamed nodejs.

So obviously it failed.

when calling node from shell yield :

node is not installed install it with :

apt install nodejs-legacy

did it

ran again

sudo npm install -g adatp-cli

Install is successfull.

Thanks again !

PS :: Not being well versed with the framework. I don't feel comfortable yet to pull request this comment in the doc. for other users.

Fantastic! And thanks so much for sharing this back, that's really useful information.

Hi guys,

I'm having the same issue....

So I tried to do almost like as Bruno, I installed NVM and I set the command "node" to look for NVM node version 4.2.6. Then I ran the adapt-cli install. But I could not solve the problem. Nodegit gets the same error.

Solved by creating a symlink from nodejs to node:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

npm-debug.log

I'm encountering similar installation issues for the Framework on a 10.12.1 OSX mac. They've been cropping up over a couple of days. The problems are:

Adapt-CLI

Using up-to-date Node (6.9.2) and Npm (4.0.5) managed with NVM. I try to install Adapt-CLI (with and without SUDO). Installation repeatedly fails, saying:

- Failed at the nodegit@0.16.0 install script 'node lifecycleScripts/preinstall && node lifecycleScripts/install

- Tell the author that this fails on your system: npmERR! node lifecycleScripts/preinstall && node lifecycleScripts/install

Manual installation

I clone the framework and do NPM install. No failing errors reported but when I run 'adapt install' the message says 'adapt: command not found'. As a result, I can't download the plug-ins. (The other day adapt install did work, but then it couldn't find compatible plugins.)

I've previously installed and run Adapt without issues on my system.

UPDATE: I've added a npm-debug.log

I've now got the adapt-cli working. What I did was:

a.) In terminal ran: $sudo xcode-select --install.

b.) In app store updated to Xcode 8.2.

One, the other or the combination of these seems to have resolved the problem for me.

So if anyone else is running into similar problems on a Mac, I'd recommend making sure xcode is up-to-date.

Show parent | Reply

thanks for this...

running [sudo xcode-select --install] allowed me to get past installing adapt-cli

//--

but now i have a new issue:

[sudo node install] stalled on me

so i updated npm: [sudo npm update -g npm]

then in a separate terminal window, i changed directories into mongodb/bin and i ran [./mongod]

i could see the mongdb terminal window change after running [sudo node install] a second time, but now i get errors i can't get past.

i should note that the first time it stalled, i had gotten to the point where the tenant name was being set (master and Master), but the second time when i got the error i did not get to the tenant name.

please help. thanks.

i'm in!

OS X 10.12.2

originally, i had used node-v4.2.6

but i had adapt-cli installation issues

so i uninstalled node-v4.2.6 and installed node-v6.9.2, thinking that was the fix

it wasn't

then i did the installation of the xcode tools

adapt-cli installed ok, but now i couldn't run the install script (error with something in node-v6.9.2)

so i uninstalled node-v6.9.2, reinstalled node-v4.2.6

all that was left was to make sure i had mongodb running in a terminal window

Gareth,

Thanks for this post. I had been trying with no success to do this on my Mac.
Installing the command line developer tools for Xcode fixed the problem :-)
