Solved - Installation Errors v1.4.3

[jongarrison]

Hi guys,

I'm doing an install of nodebb v1.4.3 on a clean new Ubuntu 16.04 server and following the instructions from:
https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

The instructions seem to be evolving nicely, but I ran into an error with he npm dependency installation:

$ sudo npm install --production

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade to 2.2.19 or higher
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: wrench.js is deprecated! You should check out fs-extra (https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra) for any operations you were using wrench for. Thanks for all the usage over the years.

$ sudo ./nodebb setup

NodeBB could not be started because it's dependencies have not been installed.
Please ensure that you have executed "npm install --production" prior to running NodeBB.

For more information, please see: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os.html

Could not start: MODULE_NOT_FOUND

Any advice?

Thanks!

Never mind, it was a simple memory issue that was causing npm install to die.

Fixed with these instructions:
