The developer toolkit for Adapt is a Command Line Interface, it allows you to work with a number of instructions to create, install and build responsive e-learning courses.

On Windows you will be using Windows Powershell, Git Bash or the windows command prompt to enter these commands.

Hi all, just downloaded npm and tried to install adapt-cli. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This is what I get

~$ npm install adapt-cli -g
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/adapt-cli

Any clue? Also see attached npm-debug.log

Thank you,

Hi all, something about the default nodejs/npm installation was crossing wires in Ubuntu. In the end I got the package from NodeSource. So, instead of the usual apt-get etc. I used

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -

sudo apt-get install nodejs

And that seemed to work. Had to sudo npm install.

Hi Luca,

Yes.. unfortunately Ubuntu 12.04's npm and nodejs installs haven't been updated in a while. I faced the same issue once and had to do the same commands you mention. However, following a move to Ubuntu 14.04 (which is nicely kept up to date) everything installs right out of the box as per the adapt learning install instructions without error.

Depending on your security (my ubuntu install is just for my personal dev work), you may wish to run chmod (i like a nice destructive approach of 777!) both across npm and grunt to avoid typing sudo. Depending on where in your directory structure you build your course, Grunt writes files and can be blocked without a user-friendly error (hinting you need to use sudo) this has caught me 1-2 times.

All the best,

Wes
