Help with install

Distanasia

Hi,

During installation I got these warnings:

npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x"} (current: {"node":"0.10.31","npm":"1.4.23"})
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x"} (current: {"node":"0.10.31" ,"npm":"1.4.23"})
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x"} (current: {"node":"0.10.31" ,"npm":"1.4.23"})
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x"} (current: {"node":"0.10.31" ,"npm":"1.4.23"})
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x"} (current: {"node":"0.10.31","npm":"1.4.23"})

and

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No README data
npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.
npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.

I'm using ubuntu @ VirutalBox to test.

I installed the forum, but now I can't login with the user I created during setup.

Any help?

Thanks!

@Distanasia What database are you using? Redis? If so, what does the output from redis -v state?

@a_5mith disse:

Yes. You mean the version, right? It's Redis server version 2.2.12 (00000000:0)

Sorry, I never used this database before.

I just followed this tutorial

Thanks!

@Distanasia Not a problem, it appears your Redis version is out of date, NodeBB requires Redis version 2.6 or above.

Go through the following commands one line at a time from your users root folder (assuming you're using a non root user with sudo permissions) if you're running as root, remove sudo from each line.

sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:rwky/redis
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y redis-server

Once you've done that, you should be good to go. You can check by running redis -v again and making sure it's 2.6 or above.

Thanks @a_5mith !

I logged as administrator, but during setup I still got this warning:

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No README data
npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.
npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.

Thanks!

@Distanasia You can safely ignore those.

Thanks for the help @a_5mith !

nodebb is new for me! I'll test @localhost first, and learn how it works! Thanks!
