Hi Prabaharan

The installation instructions do recommend that you use the LTS version of Node - currently v6.11.0

Could you switch to that and try again?

Sorry, you didn't say you were trying to install the authoring tool. You only mentioned the adapt-cli so I assumed you were trying to install the framework.

As you may know there are a LOT of releases of Node and it simply isn't feasible for us to test Adapt against every single release.

As a general rule with Node, unless you know you need the latest & greatest features it's best to install the LTS version.

True Matt, with regards to Mongodb, i still installed the latest version, and works fine with Node 6.11 version.

finally i got installed adapt tool installed on my machine, manually, following developer guide which i feel easy , when compared to vagrant, where i see getting dead intermittently, forcing me to start again.
