Authoring tool installation issue - help!

Hi, all -

Newbie here! I am trying to install the authoring tool on my computer, but I am having an issue. I am using a MacBook running Big Sur. I have very little experience with coding, but I was following the provided tutorial, and everything seemed to be working, until I got to step 3, Install the Required npm Packages.This is the error message I got when I ran the provided line of code (after clicking through the list of y/n questions).

 

Now we need to configure the master tenant.
Tip: just press ENTER to accept the default value in brackets.



error [24 Mar 21 15:30:31 -05:00] connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017
error [24 Mar 21 15:30:31 -05:00] failed to set app.db

Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

 

Alison

I suspect that Mongo is not running. Verify that the Mongo service is running; and if not, start it. Then rerun the

npm install --production

 command. 

Did you install Mongo with Brew? Attached is a useful check list for Macs with Brew and for PCs. It was assembled by Laura Leonard. If it helps, all thanks go to her.
