Hi guys and girls,
I installed Node.js, npm, got nodeBB from github, opened with VS, ran the project and got the below
What am i missing here?
Given that is the first line of code, it appears you neglected to install the dependent modules by running npm i
Also, It seems you did not install MongoDB. NodeBB requires a MongoDB and/or Redis database. You will need to install one locally unless you are using a remote solution.
One more thing, using git clone is recommended over downloading the source, as it provides an easier upgrade path.
@yariplus Thanks! Any resources or Step by step guides to do everything properly? Still new to Node.js and I feel very stupid
Ok managed! Not so stupid after all... Thanks!
Another question. I am trying to initialize my nodeBB on my local pc. I create my database as follows
Then I give the necessary information at the installer page
After some time, the response is this one
Any ideas what might be wrong?
@panagiotis-charalampous Try following this guide on Ubuntu.
@panagiotis-charalampous Check in the logs directory for any error.
I'm guessing authorization is not enabled on the database as it is not enabled by default. Use the link @Duke gave and follow the 'Configure MongoDB' section.
