Ubuntu 13/14 installation

[Mysingen]

Well, basically nothing works at first. "make" can't find the command "node", but installing nodejs-legacy solves that.

Second, signing up causes the log message " democracyos:mandrill-mailer A mandrill error occurred: Invalid_Key - Invalid API key +424ms". This can be bypassed by copy-pasting the validation link into the browser (also visible in the log).

Third, after login, browsing the main page gives the top bar and left pane (which both look decent although the top-left image is shown as a broken link). However, the right pane just shows a spinner.

Sorry for the crappy bug report. Please tell me which log files to attach.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll split answers into three parts, respectively:

1. Node installation in Linux depends a lot on distro and version; from what you say I can think only that the installation method you used didn't create a symlink accesible through your PATH env variable.
2. That's a new one. Can you copy a log of your make output?
3. That's a known issue. You should load default fixtures in order to see some sample data.

Please feel free to update our wiki's installation guide with any findings :)

Thanks for answering. Here's the log:

I can send you the installation log as well if you like. It has some odd looking things in it. Can't figure out a way to attach files here though. Possible?

[Mysingen]

I'm finding more problems, perhaps related to a failed installation. There does not seem to be any way to create a new proposition, for instance. There is only the pre-configured "Internet civil framework".

[gvilarino]

For that you can either create new proposals by using the same method as when loading fixtures or when using the admin module. For the latter do the following:

1. Put your email in the STAFF variable in development.json.
2. Navigate to /admin

You should then see the admin module where you can create, delete and modify tags and laws

[gvilarino]

I'll see into the rest of your issues throughout the weekend.

Closing this. Please. @Mysingen refer these kind of inquiries to our mailing list.
