Can you try running npm install --production?

I just tested the installation of NodeBB 1.18.x on a brand new installation of Debian 11.

After install nodejs14 and mongodb 5

sudo apt install -y git

cd /home/XXXX
sudo git clone -b v1.18.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
cd nodebb
sudo ./nodebb setup

Why are you running under sudo? We strongly recommend installing and running as an unprivileged user.

DownPW

@pitaj

by habit !!

But I don't know why my upgrade doesn't work on Debian 10 (1.17 to 1.18)

PitaJ

@downpw running under sudo caused that npm error on Debian 11. Try installing fresh without it.

I'm not sure why your npm install is erroring with an ssl certificate issue. Maybe try clearing your npm cache or searching that error code. It's not a problem with NodeBB.

DownPW

Ok @PitaJ
Installation on debian11, Mongo DB V5 OK, NODEJS 14 OK

Question: NodeJS can be upgraded or just use V14 ?

PitaJ

@downpw we currently don't support anything newer than v14, but that's being worked on.

gotwf

@pitaj Maybe put a temp note in the install docs since 16.x went LTS today?
