Adapt Learning Community: Unable to install Adapt on local machine

Skip to main content

adapt cmd log 310314.txt

Hello,

I am attempting to install Adapt on my local machine, following the instructions at https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/wiki/Setting-up-your-development-environment.

However, when I use 'adapt create install', nothing gets created, and I get the following error:

Can't stat "Users\\jperrin\\.adapt\
\tmp\\50233e50-b8e7-11e3-b613-9343b13d4c4c\\adapt_framework-master\\.bowerrc": E
rror: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\jperrin\Documents\Adapt\Users\jperrin\.adapt\tmp\50
233e50-b8e7-11e3-b613-9343b13d4c4c\adapt_framework-master\.bowerrc'

I am trying this on a PC with Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) installed. (I have also attached the full CMD log to this post, for what it's worth)

Is there anything I'm missing?

Kind regards,
Joe Perrin

Hi Joe,

You'll need to configure your $HOME environment variable.

On Win 7 go System Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment variables

Then add a new variable called HOME with the value 'C:\Users\jperrin\'

adapt-cli will use the variables HOME, HOMEPATH and finally USERPROFILE on Windows.

It seem like on some Windows systems the HOMEPATH omits the drive letter, causing the problem you experienced.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me, i also got stuck in the installation of adapt framework on my local machine.

This problem appeared at the end of the Installation, while installing adapt dependencies and i got error something "ext failed: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND", please see the attached image for more details.

System details are:

Windows 7 64 bit

Just for your information

I have successfully installed adapt cli and grunt cli
I have added $HOME variable in environment variables (HOME = C:\Users\Bharat.Sharma)
I have also added git details in PATH variable

Please help me.

Hello Bharat,

Can you access the Adapt Registry http://adapt-bower-repository.herokuapp.com/packages/ ?

getaddrinfo is related to DNS resolution, NOTFOUND would indicate that your system is unable to resolve the DNS entry.

Check your firewall/proxy settings if you have one.

Once you have confirmed that you can access the registry, you can run adapt install in your directory to re-install the adapt dependencies.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your reply.

I am able to open the link "http://adapt-bower-repository.herokuapp.com/packages/" you gave me and it's returning me this JSON data.

  },......... ]

Do you still think the issue is related to firewall/proxy settings?

I would be glad if you can suggest anything?

[edit]

I have just tried the exact link from error "http://adapt-bower-repository.herokuapp.com/packages/adapt-contrib-text"

and its also working fine and show so JSON data -

If you have curl installed you could try accessing that url from your shell...

curl

Then try installing the dependencies again, also make sure you are Run As Administrator/sudo to ensure you have enough permissions.

Thanks

Hello Chris,

curl is working fine, see:

As you suggested me to re-install dependencies, does it means to follow all steps? or is there any specific command of dependencies installation?

However i have tried to create course again at same location and i found same dependencies related error but this time error for this link "http://adapt-bower-repository.herokuapp.com/packages/adapt-contrib-blank". For you info i am able to open this link in browser.

Hello,

Can i have suggestions/solutions for this issue related to installation, please help me! I really want to work with adapt. Or can you suggest me any other way to install adapt? I have also tried by downloading offline version from GIT but it is also not working because of missing files. see these screen grabs:

Hello everyone.

Now i have successfully installed adapt, yes Chris you were right it was something related IP and DNS settings. (because i have added two IP for my system) finally i figure out and now its working.

Thanks a lot for you responses.

Bharat

Hey Bharat,

From the screen grabs you sent it looks like you haven't run '$ npm install'. Once you run this you'll see a node_modules folder. Then running '$ adapt install' will get your plugins from the registry. Then running '$ grunt build'.

Looks like you've got this running after all but we should extend the documentation to include these commands after downloaded the zipped version.

Hope you have fun with Adapt.

Thanks,

Daryl

Hi Daryl,

Yeah! You're right.

The downloaded version needs to be updated by running these commands you suggested for missing files. I am wondering i didn't find these commands in documentation when i downloaded this from GIT so these should be added also.

I tried these commands to install zipped version as you suggested above and $npm install threw error, but i ignored error and i ran second command $adapt install, and executed successfully and finally i was able to run the course through grunt commands.

However i didn't understand why $npm install threw error, but i suspect, its may be due to i have already installed course through online procedure ($npm install adapt-cli -g and $npm install grunt-cli -g). see below the error:

The test runner we include (karma) has dependency issue that is resolved in this issue on the develop branch. this should be fixed when this version gets released.

Check the post here https://community.adaptlearning.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=177#p901, setting up your HOME environment variable should sort it out.

[EDIT] - Ah, Chris beat me to it :)

Unless anyone has any objections, I'll add a 'Common Issues' wiki page to Github for things like this...

I think that's a good idea. It might be useful also to link to it in the intro text for this forum, ie: on https://community.adaptlearning.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=4, underneath:

"This forum is the central place for all discussions in the Adapt Learning Community in English. Everyone is welcome to ask related questions, make suggestions and leave comments. We promise to respond quickly and will also use this forum to ask for your opinions and ideas."

OK, page is set up here: https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/wiki/Common-Issues

Please feel free to add any issues that seem to be cropping up regularly.

I don't have the permissions to amend the forum intro text, but I'm sure either Sven or Daryl can do this.
