This is due to a number of changes from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 including but not limited to the nodejs implementation and the change from upstart. Will try to get a new installer for 16.04.

Any progress on this issue? Having the same problem with install on latest version of Linux Mint

[automayt]

This issue should be fixed soon, but nothing yet. It will require a different install process currently, so I'm working to streamline that.

Ha, I was all excited...almost done with the install...and then...same error as above. I'm running Mint 18.1, I guess you have to create something for systemd?

Can I manually start it?

[automayt]

Yes, and a symlink for node->nodejs basically. Ubuntu16.04 compatibility is next on the update list. As far as manual starts go, you can either run "sudo service flowbat start" (on 14.04) or node /pathtoflowbatdirectoryhere/private/bundle/main.js. In 16.04 and above you might have to specify nodejs instead of just node.

[Dasutin]

I was able to get it working by using nvm to backport the version of node to 0.10.48.

I also created a systemd service "flowbat.service" in /etc/systemd/system

[Unit]
Description = Starting FlowBAT
After = network.target
[Service]
ExecStart = node /pathtoflowbatdirectoryhere/private/bundle/main.js
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

Then enable the new service and start it: systemctl enable flowbat.service systemctl start flowbat.service

[automayt]

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi, do you have any working installer for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS ? I just tried the installation for 1st time, and failed -- proceeded to try to get node.js installed, nvm, and tried the last section posted by Dasutin --

output looks like this: sudo service flowbat status ● flowbat.service - Starting FlowBAT Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/flowbat.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2017-03-03 14:06:27 PST; 11min ago Main PID: 12083 (code=exited, status=8)

hum not workin in ubuntu 16.04 lts. next try which ubuntu 14.04 lts and again not works.

root@ubuntu:/home# ./install_flowbat_ubuntu.sh It looks like mongod is running, which could be indicative that you have a meteor app running. Are you sure you want to continue the install of FlowBAT? [y/n] y

Checking installed packages...

[Ondjultomte]

Any updates here ? I want to get flowbat up and running

[chrissanders]

None yet. This has been on the back burner, but Jason is working on this and we're hoping to have it resolved in the next couple of weeks.

[Ondjultomte]

Is there a high possibility that it will be ready in oct.? Or is it more likely the end of the year?

[Dasutin]

I wrote up some instructions on what worked for me to get FlowBAT installed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This should technically work on later versions of Ubuntu. If I have time I'll see about modifying the install script.
