    Install nvm or n and then use one of those to install Node 6.

    @julian well I was looking for a help right now. Already paid for server and domain. And looking for Adsense so that I can earn what I've invested right now. Thanks for contacting though but I am not looking for paid service right now.

    NodeBB and File Permissions across the system

    Prelude: Last year, ran nodeBB under a root user just fine. many months later, system crashed and had to wipe the server. This time on installation, on a new server, ran into various errors. Was told not to run nodeBB under the root user, so --

    Creating a new user, and pulling and installing a different instance of nodeBB I am now running into errors with npm install (even using the global command) and generally overall.

    Is this still due to file permission issues regarding the first time setting up nodeBB on the new server? Or is something else to blame?

    When utilizing nodeBB on the new user, npm gives errors such as not finding modules (even tried removing node_modules directory and doing npm -g install), and when I do get the npm install to not crash, running any ./nodebb command still gives errors.

    Does anyone know the issue at hand? I'm thinking of wiping the server, and giving it one more try via not using root from the start to see if the errors can be avoided altogether - if not I may just move on to a different forum system.

    Thanks in advance!

    @MagicVish No, no. For the field Which database to use do not enter redis but enter 0. You already chose redis earlier in the setup. This field instructs NodeBB which redis database to populate and use. The databases start at 0 and increase incrementally. If this is your first and only redis database 0 is the answer.
