@pitaj thanks but I got along
Issue installing NodeBB on Centos 7
-
When I run the command: ./nodebb setup
I get this error:
/root/nodebb/src/cli/package-install.js:70
const extraneous = !packageContents.dependencies.hasOwnProperty(pkgName);
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

Your version of Node.js is too old
-
Unfortunately, projects like NodeBB don't tend to do well with Extreme Stable spins like RHEL/CENT.
I would check and see if there is a more current node available in EPEL - Node's documentation recommends using this source: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions
I don't know if this matters for you, but the Fedora versions are usually new enough if you're in an environment where a "nonstable" spin is acceptable.
-
Alternatively you can use something like NVM to install Node, instead of using the package manager of your distro.
-
You can also find NodeJS packages for RHEL and CENT at NodeSource: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions
Or you can use Docker. That would give you even an additional layer of security.

Thank you very much guys I managed to get it sorted, not really sure how haha

Same issue came up, NodeBB install errors on Amazon Linux. But the issue there was using NodeJS that was too new, rather than too old. Used NVM and dropped the version down to 10.8.0 and it worked fine.
-
@scottalanmiller WHAT?! What version of NodeBB are you trying to use? Node 0.10.8 is ages old and certainly doesn't support
const. -
Should have been 10.8.0, sorry.

Wonder what that error was... did we end up fixing it
No, getting issues on CentOS 7 still, too.

Related, I think, getting this from any version of NodeJS...

@scottalanmiller are you running any NodeBB commands as root?
-

Yes, the installer.
-
@scottalanmiller running any
./nodebbcommand as root is not supported. You should install and run NodeBB as an unprivileged user. -
If you wish to fix this, though, you should be able to run
npm installin the NodeBB directory as root to resolve it. -
