    Just trying to set up a second droplet on Digital Ocean running NodeBB (first was successfully setup), but for some reason I'm getting this error this time around. I'm following the recommended tutorial and have not done anything differently from the given steps with the exception of choosing redis instead of the default (mongodb) during the node app --setup step. (which is also what I did in my previous NodeBB install that was successful).

    I've checked the outputs of each step, and everything's good until this step

    0_1453494450365_NPMInstall.png
    which outputs the following:

    I've spent several hours in these forums as well as others trying to find someone who's posted a similar issue (I've also destroyed the droplet and started over fresh 4 times), but am having no luck yet.

    The NodeJS version you are using is outdated. You should upgrade to the LTS (NodeJS 4.X) or stable (NodeJS 5.X) branch.

    Simply run these 2 commands for Ubuntu:
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -
    sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

    However, be sure to uninstall & purge your current NodeJS installation by using:
    apt-get remove node*
    apt-get remove npm* (just to verify)
    apt-get purge node*
    apt-get purge npm*

    Hm, there actually should be no reason NodeBB can't be installed with v0.11, in fact, it is our supported engine at the moment...

    Looks like a bug with latest.

    @AOKP thank you, thank you, thank you! Did this and was able to run NodeBB without issue.

    @julian I was curious about that, as I had no issues with a fresh install yesterday.
