Adapt Learning Community: Installing Prerequisites

After installing the majority of the prerequisites requires to set up the Adapt Authoring server the only hang up we've encountered is our inability to install adapt-cli. We've installed git, node, npm, nvm, grunt, mondodb, and ffmpeg and verifed their version number on our Red Hat server but the step to install adapt-cli presents us with this error:

npmERR!code ELIFECYCLE

npmERR!errno 1

npmERR! nodegit@0.16.0 install: `node lifecycleScripts/preinstall && node lifecycleScripts/install`

npmERR! Exit status 1

npmERR!

npmERR! Failed at the nodegit@0.16.0 install script 'node lifecycleScripts/preinstall && node lifecycleScripts/install'.

npmERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.

npmERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the nodegit package,

npmERR! not with npm itself.

npmERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:

npmERR! node lifecycleScripts/preinstall && node lifecycleScripts/install

npmERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:

npmERR! npm bugs nodegit

npmERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:

npmERR! npm owner ls nodegit

npmERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

npmERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

npmERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2017-03-13T19_32_23_454Z-debug.log

If there is anyone experiencing this, any input is graciously appreciated as we would like to get this resolved as soon as possible

Hi Donnie

Looking at the debug log, I can see it appears to be having problems with installing nodegit because of an 'Unknown `--is-lightweight' option' error with libssh2/missing

There's a few references to that error here - could be worth trying some of those solutions?

If anyone is still having this issue, it turns out to be Node version related.

Updating to the latest stable Node version before installing Adapt, results in the "ELIFECYCLE" and "nodegit" error messages listed in the original post.

To resolve this issue...

Clear your cache and downgrade to Node version 6.9.0:

> sudo npm cache clean -f

> sudo npm install -g n

> sudo n 6.9.0

Check your version of Node:

> node --version

Install Adapt and Grunt (using sudo):

> sudo npm install adapt-cli -g

> sudo npm install grunt-cli -g

This should do it! ; )

While running the commands in my previous post had worked on my Mac OS (Sierra), I received the same error message while attempting to install Adapt-CLI on Ubuntu 16.04.

Here's what finally worked for me. Using sudo, I installed...

General prerequisites*:

> sudo apt-get install nodejs (version 6.9.0 - see downgrade info in previous post)

> sudo apt install nodejs-legacy

> sudo apt-get install npm

> sudo apt-get install git

Secure Sockets Layer toolkit*:

> sudo apt install libssl-dev

Adapt-CLI and Grunt:

> sudo npm install adapt-cli -g

> sudo npm install grunt-cli -g

* Shout out to @codecholeric and @n8behavior on github. Installing libssl-dev fixed everything and allowed me to successfully install Adapt and Grunt without further error messages!

Have anyone installed the Adapt CLI lately? It didn't for me. I got the Node.js 6.9.0 and npm 3.10.8 installed and ran the command below and got the error below, i also tried to install the latest npm version 5.6.0 but still no lucks.

sudo npm install adapt-cli -g
