Need help installing NodeBB on CentOS

General Discussion
  • A

    I've never used centos, but it appears you're not installing npm inside your nodebb folder, but instead in root?

    @nakre you are in nodebb, didn't look like it from first logs, lack of npm might suggest you've not got everything from the software stack part. Can you try

    cd ../
sudo yum install npm
cd nodebb  
sudo npm install -g npm  
sudo npm install

    @nakre

    If I remember correctly npm is in the EPEL repository, and based on your error it looks like you don't have the repo enabled. This guide looks pretty good.
    http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-rhel-epel-repo-on-centos-5x-or-6x

    Make sure you use the right EPEL release for your version of centos.

    Once you finish that then run the npm command again and it should work. You shouldn't need to install it to the nodebb directory.

    Hmmm... It looks like the repo files are there, but it appears it isn't loading the repo.

    I guess the last thing to check is yum itself. I think you can list the repos yum has loaded with a

     - sudo yum repolist

    Edit: I found these instructions online. They mention enabling the EPEL repository within the command itself. That might prove useful.

    Node.js and npm are available from the Fedora Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. If you haven't already done so, first enable EPEL.

    To check if you have EPEL, run

    yum repolist
    if you don't see epel, install it via RPM (At the time of this writing, the last version is 6.8.).

    First import the key:

    sudo rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/0608B895.txt
    Then install

    sudo rpm -Uvh http://download-i2.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
    And then run the following command to install node and npm:

    sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel
    or if this doesn't work for you install node separately:

    sudo yum install npm --enablerepo=epel

    Yeah, I am at a loss at this point. When you run the repolist command I am not seeing it show the EPEL repository, yet when you try to install it it says you already have it.

    This isn't really a NodeBB problem though, so we can't really blame the NodeBB script for it. It's almost like Yum itself is messed up. You might be able to get extra help from the CentOS community though, or if someone else here is more of a CentOS expert?
