Work-around: Installing NodeBB on non LTS Ubuntu (17.04)
-
Has anyone successfully installed NodeBB onto a non LTS version of Ubuntu? This is a Hail-Mary before I revert my 17.04 to the 16.04 LTS. Any insight will be appreciated.
-
It should be fine. As long as the Node.js version is correct everything should work.
-
@pitaj my concern is with mongo. Some mongo packages are not supported on 17.04.
As its documented here.
-
The best way to find out is to try it. NodeBB should work with all newer Mongo versions but if not let us know.
-
@pitaj I can confirm that mongo only supports 64-bit LTS versions of ubuntu. Some (crucial) packages like mongod are not supported on non LTS versions.
-
@countach just because it's not supported doesn't mean it won't work
-
@pitaj Yes true, I tried installing mongo onto my 17.04. The installation was successful but some packages did not work (were not supported).
