Fresh Install Failing

[devGTI]

I have setup a new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server for the purposes of installing a fresh version of NodeBB with mongoDB and Nginx.

It is dedicated to this application.

I am using the guides set down here:

Ubuntu (Recommended) - NodeBB Documentation

Documentation portal for NodeBB Forum Software

(docs.nodebb.org)

I can successfully get to Installing NodeBB and once I run the ./nodebb setup command I get the following screen appearing.!

This runs for hours going nowhere.

I have reviewed many different guides and once I get to the point of running ./nodebb setup command this happens everytime.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

The zalgo issue is caused by one of our dependencies.

Essentially you just need to force install 1.4.0 of colors:

npm install [email protected]
