Err Npm install main folder.

[towicode]

I get the below error when running npm install in the main folder.

FastFlow@0.8.0 postinstall /home/todd/debateflow install-app-deps

try running npm setup, the post-install script is mainly for installing on CI and during the build process ATM (this does need to be better documented and I'll get that done as soon as the build and setup process is finalized with version 1.0.0)

[towicode]

doing npm run setup gives a very similar error, seems like it still runs the post-install.

Here is the npm-debug log not sure if it helps.

git clone [git url]
npm run setup
npm run start 

works for me in my Mac, waiting for @isaaclo123 for a bug report on his linux computer.

Some more info: Install-app-deps is an electron-builder script (link here) and what it does is effectively npm install in the app folder, which is already done by npm setup. Try doing npm run start and see if anything happens (99% it pulls another error, but worth a try)

[isaaclo123]

Hello, @towicode . Things appear to be working fine on my debian linux computer, even when I got a fresh clone. Could you first please tell me the steps of what you did to run FastFlow?

Try running the command "node" in your terminal. If the node binary doesn't exist, you may have to symlink nodejs to node to get it to run. Otherwise, try updating nodejs and npm.

[towicode]

I have node, you can see the version in the error message. Gonna try again on a different computer.

[towicode]

These are the steps I did.

Update your node and npm. I am running npm version 3.10.6 and nodejs version 4.4.7. Your nodejs version is 0.12.15 and the npm 2.15.1.

[towicode]

Was able to get it to work with version 4.4.7
