Adapt Learning Community: npm package install

I'm trying to install the Adapt Authoring tool on MAC OSX 10.13.4.

I'm following the instructions on https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/wiki/Install-on-Server.

I'm up to step 3 - installing the required npm packages.

I got some errors at the bottom of my terminal log, does this mean it hasn't installed successfully? Any idea how to resolve these errors if I need to?

npm WARN deprecated babel-preset-latest@6.24.1: We're super 😸  excited that you're trying to use ES2017+ syntax, but instead of making more yearly presets 😭 , Babel now has a better preset that we recommend you use instead: npm install babel-preset-env --save-dev. preset-env without options will compile ES2015+ down to ES5 just like using all the presets together and thus is more future proof. It also allows you to target specific browsers so that Babel can do less work and you can ship native ES2015+ to user 😎 ! We are also in the process of releasing v7, so please give http://babeljs.io/blog/2017/09/12/planning-for-7.0 a read and help test it out in beta! Thanks so much for using Babel 🙏, please give us a follow on Twitter @babeljs for news on Babel, join slack.babeljs.io for discussion/development and help support the project at opencollective.com/babel

Looking at that output, it looks like you're running a really old version of Node (v0.10.33)

Adapt requires you to have Node v8.x installed.

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply!

You’re right, I’m running Node v0.10.33. I installed NVM but I’m not sure how to use it to switch to the correct version of Node. I've never used the terminal before and so I'm just trying to follow the instructions as best I can.

Are you able to tell me exactly what to put into the terminal to switch to Node v8.x?

I’v read the NVM usage instructions (attached) but I don’t understand them. When I run nvm ls or nvm ls-remote I get ‘command not found’.

Did you open a new terminal window? The changes won't be picked up until you do that.

Once you've done that, you should be able to install v8 with:

nvm install 8

Once you've got that installed, you can use v8 in your current terminal window by typing:

nvm use 8

To make sure Node.js v8 is used in all new terminal windows:

nvm alias default 8

Unless you need the ability to switch between different versions of Node it might be simpler just to install Node v8.11.4

Ok great. Now when I run npm install --production I get the below output. Am I ok to go on to run node install now?

Only thing that looks strange to me is

npmnotice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

Do I need to worry about that?

Hi Briar,

As a side-note: I'd recommend installing Node Version Manager (NVM) if you haven't already, as it makes switching between Node.js versions a lot easier.

Thanks Tom :)
