Adapt Learning Community: Trouble on Install Adapt Authoring: Python & Casperjs

Hi,

I thought I had things going pretty well during install, but I came across a couple of bumps. Here's a copy of my terminal output during install (https://gist.github.com/NoisyText/2bb9701e18706e19add5). I'm new to all things node.js--I'm also a little bleary-eyed from staring at this for so long, but here are the problems I can identify in the log:

Line 33: From what I can tell, "gyp" doesn't like my Python v3.3.3. However this stackoverflow discussion (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15912063/how-do-i-run-python-2-and-3-in-windows-7/17245543#17245543) says that py 3 and py 2 can work on the same system, but the script has to call it correctly.
Line 151: The other problem seems related to casperjs
Error: EPERM, operation not permitted 'C:\xampp\adapt\adapt_authoring\node_modul
es\casperjs\bin\casperjs'
    at Object.fs.symlinkSync (fs.js:741:18)
    at c:\xampp\adapt\adapt_authoring\node_modules\grunt-casperjs\install.js:34:

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:646:7)
    at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:98:17)
    at maybeClose (child_process.js:756:16)
    at Socket.<anonymous> (child_process.js:969:11)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:95:17)
    at Pipe.close (net.js:465:12)

I'm very stumped and discouraged. I've been working at this for quite a while. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Sorry to hear you're having problems installing. It sounds like you might be experiencing this issue: https://github.com/ronaldlokers/grunt-casperjs/issues/46

Can you post back with the following information please:

Windows version
Node version (node --version in a bash prompt)
Python version (python --version in a bash prompt)

Can you also let us know at which step you're experiencing these issues? (I'm assuming it's during npm install).

Hi Tom,

Thanks so much for your response. I've been tinkering with a number of things over the last few days, and I was just able to get the login page to load !! :). I started all the way over and used node.js version 10.

I did get a question about Casper.js, it asked me if Casper.js was installed, but before I could respond it moved on and finished the instal.

So, at least now I can log in and get started learning. I'll be sure to post here again if I come across any problems that stump me :). thanks again for taking the time to respond.

~Chris
