GoProController and GoProControllerUI installation issues #7

Closed pjotawake closed 8 years ago

pjotawake commented 9 years ago

Lately I have been fiddling around with the GoPro software. The GoPro Hero library installs fine and seems to be working on my Ubuntu 14.4 (64bit) machine.

However, after installing the GoProController I run into problems - the page at http://localhost/ shows a no permission error

"Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this server"

Looking at the Apache configuration I can see that access is granted for /home/GoProControllerUI/_public. But this directory does not exist.

Apparently, it should be there after installing GoProControllerUI. However, this installation runs into the error of a ambiguous "node" binary which prevents correct installation (see below).

The error seems pretty straight forward.

/bin/sh: 1: node: not found

Seems like you need to install Node. I recommend trying to install Node v0.10 or v0.12 using nvm.

Thanks for your reply - I did try to use the default packages from Ubuntu repository, but unfortunately the node version was too old (0.10.24). And apparently they have a name conflict with some other package using the filename 'node', therefore they renamed the node binary into something else.

So I now installed the latest v0.10 node which is 0.10.40 using NVM, and I can get through the compilation process, though I do see some errors about a "failed optional dep" in the GoProControllerUI package (see below).

Also the webinterface works now.

Thanks again!

If it's an optional dependency, than I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't something that GoProControllerUI is trying to install. (In other words, it is a dependency of a dependency.)

Glad everything works now!
