Adapt Learning Community: Install authoring tool error

Hi all,

I am installing the authoring tool on a Win 10 laptop. Following the Github install instructions but have got to the point of running the install script.

When i do I am presented with the following failure. Does anyone have an idea of why?

node install

This script will install the application.
Would you like to continue?
> Continue? Y/n (Y) y

We need to configure the tool before install.

Now we need to configure the master tenant.

Could you verify you're using Node v6.x as per the installation instructions?

Ive got MongoDB running now but on running 'node install', i'm getting the following error even though Mongo DB is running. Any ideas?

Hey Neil,

I've been running on same Mongo related errors. You can try running MongoDB as a service for your Operating System. If you are running Windows, follow the next steps:

Make sure that you added you /bin directory to you system variable PATH

First I executed this command:

D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --remove

First I executed this command after opening command prompt as administrator:

D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --dbpath=D:\mongodb --logpath=D:\mongodb\log.txt --install

After that right there in the command prompt execute:

services.msc

And look for MongoDB service and click start.

After this, just go back to node install for Adapt Authoring Tool. You should be good to go.

Hi Guys,

I'm getting the same original error

module.js:540
throw err;

I've checked that I have MongoDB running and I have the latest Node 6.1 version installed... any suggestions what I should try? I'm a newbie, so please be kind.
