Hi,

Im trying to install the frontend but when I prompt 'npm start' its comes back with loads of errors, debug log file included.

Could you please have a look as I would really like to get this working.

Hey Matthew,

How did you install node/npm/etc? I'm guessing you've run npm install in the frontend's root directory. What version of Gulp are you using?

If you haven't already, try npm install -g gulp to install gulp globally onto your path. You're using a slightly older version of npm (the version we're using is 5.0), can you update that?

Hi,

I have installed npm version 6.4.1, installed gulp and node and I have got the frontend to work upto the point of npm test and then I get errors, I have attached a txt file with the errors I am getting.

Hey Jamie,

I have come back to trying to install nerve again as I am now doing it on what will be the main running machine for it and it have managed to install npm version - 5.6.0 with node version - 8.11.1, reason being as npm version 5.0.0 isn't stable and wouldn't let me run any commands for version 8.11.1 is the next stable LTS, but im still having problems running the commands for the frontend, i ran npm install -g gulp and it installed version - 2.0.1 but im still getting errors --

I hope you will be able to help as we could really do with getting this working, would help us out so much.

Many Thanks

Hi Matthew,

You should realistically be fine using the pre-built frontend files, there isn't anything really site-specific in the frontend code (except the logo, probably, but you should be fine to just drop in a new PNG). On my laptop, I'm currently running node v11.1.0, npm version 6.4.1, and gulp version 3.9.1, and I can start everything just fine.

If you run gulp serve directly in the frontend directory, what happens?

To use the pre-built files, you don't need to start Nerve with node at all, you should be starting it with Ruby.

I've attached the init scripts we use to run Nerve (using upstart and CentOS 6.9), but I recommend running it inside Docker to avoid all the nasty dependencies you need.

I'll update the docker-compose script as soon as I get a chance so you can deploy it on a standard Docker install easily.

Hi Jamie,

I will give it a try, I'm going to reinstall it as iv been installing it on Ubuntu 18.04 Server and I didn't think about CentOS so i am installing it on that but it will be CentOS 7.

I will come back to you once i have finished installing again.

Many Thanks

Hi Jamie,

When I run gulp serve I get the following problem

[nerve@nerve frontend]$ gulp serve
