Adapt Learning Community: Installing Adapt

Good Day All,

I am extremely new to adapt hence the fact that im struggling to install it.

I downloaded the framework, followed the instructions on: https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/wiki/Setting-up-your-development-environment

When I get to "grunt build" I get the error saying that I dont have GruntFile.js in my project, as you can see in my screenshot I do, but I then went to their website and in my command prompt did "npm install -g grunt" and also did "npm install -g grunt-cli"

Ran grunt build and still got the error saying "Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt." etc
I then used "npm install grunt --save-dev"
Ran grunt build
Then got "Error: Cannot find module 'matchdep'
I then ran npm install matchdep
Ran grunt build
Then got "quite a list of local npm modules telling me they were not found and if their installed and a warning saying Task "jsonlint" not found.

I must have gone wrong somewhere? Must I just keep installing all theses files or is there something I have done wrong? Would really appreciate any guidance!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Angelique,

Did you use the 'adapt create course' method when setting up your development environment? If so, I'm not sure why you're getting those issues.

Try running a plain 'npm install' to grab those dependencies, and try building again.

I've just noticed that the guide no longer includes old instructions for a manual installation (i.e. download zip, extract, npm install)

I'd strongly recommend using the CLI, but for completeness I'll create a new wiki page and put the manual guide there.
