Rocketchat error when installing dependencies

[amirAlamian]

Description:

Hi I am using rocketchat source code and when I go to apps/meteor folder to install dependencies with meteor npm install command, this error shows up:

> meteor npm install
npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "workspace:": workspace:^

I did the yarn command in project root directory before running this command. I check the package,json file and I notice that the problem might be for this packages:

        "@rocket.chat/eslint-config": "workspace:^",
        "@rocket.chat/livechat": "workspace:^",

What is the solution?

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 4.8
• Operating System: linux ubuntu 22.04
• Deployment Method: source code
• Number of Running Instances: 1
• DB Replicaset Oplog:
• NodeJS Version: 14.8.3
• MongoDB Version: 5

Is there any updates on this issue? Thanks

The only thing working is using meteor yarn install instead of meteor npm install

But it looks like yarn doesn't build all modules then... In many of them the dist folder is missing and I need to manually do a npm install in them 😵

Examples

Error: Cannot find module '/usr/src/app/apps/meteor/node_modules/@rocket.chat/agenda/dist/index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

Error: Cannot find module '/usr/src/app/apps/meteor/node_modules/@rocket.chat/presence/dist/packages/presence/src/Presence.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry` 

I will update this issue if I find a better way to handle this

I was missing a yarn build before trying to start the server.

Documentation here: https://developer.rocket.chat/rocket.chat/rocket-chat-environment-setup/mac-osx

yarn build
yarn dev

@wriske's method worked. I believe that linux version of rocket-chat-environment-setup missing the yarn build step.

but the source code already fix it.
