HI, I have error to install nodebb in debian:

16/1 22:29:48 [20173] - error: [build] client side styles build failed
16/1 22:29:48 [20173] - error: [build] Encountered error during build step: Inline JavaScript is not enabled. Is it set in your options?

What tutorial are you using? Try the Ubuntu instructions, the Debian ones are outdated.

That's not an error we've seen. But we "always" build on CentOS.

@Nicolas-0 the readthedocs documentation is very out of date, use docs.nodebb.org

Your version of Node.js is way too old.

This is because less 3.x apparently does not support inline javascript.

You probably ran "npm audit" which threw out four less vulnerabilities and prompted you to update less to fix them, which broke the client side styles build step of NodeBB.

Fix it by downgrading less to the supported version by running "npm install less@2.7.3".

That should cause the next ./nodebb build to process correctly.
