I have tried to install the authoring tools on Windows 8.1 following the instructions.
I get as far as running node install but comes back with the following error:
Completed the npm install.
Installing plugins for the Adapt framework.
'adapt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: 1
ERROR: 1
Framework install failed. See console output for possible reasons.
DOes anyone have any ideas where I may be going wrong?
Hi Les,
Might be that the adapt-cli is not installed. Check to see if a version is returned:adapt-cli --version
If none is returned, try installing it. Then rerunnode install
Cheers!
Hi Chuck
Thank you very much for responding.
When I use adapt-cli --version it says adapt-cli is not recognised.
When I re-installed with npm install -g adapt-cli it appears to run OK but I get the same response when I run adapt-cli --version again i.e. its not recognised.
Not sure why the adapt-cli is not installing.
Best Regards
Les
My bad. The command should have been
adapt --version
Not adapt-cli.
Hi Chuck
I still get the same error when I run adapt --version.
D:\adapt\adapt_authoring>adapt --version
'adapt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Les
Les,
I wonder if the path variable for Adapt is not linked up properly. This site explains a little about working with path variables (in case you're not already familiar): http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
If it's the path variable that's the problem, then the 'adapt' command is not being found by your command prompt. You would just need to include the path to the 'adapt' file that executes the adapt command in your path variable settings. The adapt file should be located inside your node folder (wherever node was installed).
Anyway, I could be wrong, but it's something to try.
