Unable to run on Ubuntu 16.04

[pixelpox]

Hi,

I am having the following issue with installing the monitoring client. My first issue was that I didn't have npm installed that just returned a error saying npm command not found.

After installing npm and running ./storjmonitor-install.sh my output looks like this

` simon@storage-wars:~/storjmonitor/StorjMonitor-master$ ./storjmonitor-install.sh

/bin/sh: 1: node: not found gyp: Call to 'node -e "require('nan')"' returned exit status 127 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: gyp failed with exit code: 1 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onCpExit (/usr/share/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:354:16) gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:87:13) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:172:7) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:200:12) gyp ERR!

I have followed the advice given on another ticket but the install just breaks again. https://github.com/calxibe/StorjMonitor/issues/11

I have made sure that node.js and npm are both installed and updated by doing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

Any help on getting this running would be great. Thanks, Simon

Can you please run:

node -v
npm -v

and post the output? Thank you!

Hi Stefan,

I have been working on this as you replied and think i might be closer to a solution by following this webpage

I noticed that the node -v command didn't work and as suggested by the ubuntu i ran sudo apt install nodejs-legacy

I also ran sudo npm install npm@latest -g

To answer your question here is the output;

simon@storage-wars:~$ node -v v4.2.6 simon@storage-wars:~$ npm -v ERROR: npm is known not to run on Node.js v4.2.6 Node.js 4 is supported but the specific version you're running has a bug known to break npm. Please update to at least 4.7.0 to use this version of npm. You can find the latest release of Node.js at https://nodejs.org/

I am currently working on getting nodejs updated

[stefanbenten]

Thanks for the info! Did you get any further?

Hi Stefan,

Sorry no I've not been able to spend any more time on this. I did try to get npm updated per the command line output without success.

But noticed that the monitoring software still collects the information so it is working but not in an ideal way.

If you know a way I can get up to v4.7.0 for nosejs I would be grateful for a solution. However seeing as I can get the software running I can always take my issue else where and consider this resolved.

Thanks, Simon

I think you want to apt install nodejs, not nodejs-legacy. V6.9.4 is the LTS version On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 4:20 AM pixelpox notifications@github.com wrote:

@pixelpox Did you install the nodejs packet as @audioeng suggested?

[pixelpox]

@audioeng , @stefanbenten ,

Sorry I didn't mean to be rude, I did not see the email notification to say I had a message from Joshua.

I'VE SOLVED IT.

I noticed that under Ubuntu 16.04 the nodejs in the repository is fairly old. I followed this guide

This showed me the way to add the Nodejs v8 repo and update NodeJS past the standard version that is set in apt.

Thank you both in assisting me
