Can't Install

[aereaco]

Just tried to build and start project on a fresh install of Debian 11 and tried under Windows 11 but setup fails. Please list the actual requirements to get things up and going such as node.js version, python, yarn, database or whatever else is unique to your build environment because it's not as simple as you claimed to be in documentation or readme.

Hi, the only hard requirement is Node v14.17.5 or later. http://sonicjs.herokuapp.com/docs#collapse142

I'll do some additional sanity checking asap, but if you can please provide more details on the specific error messages, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Lane

What environments have you tested and built in? Are you deploying this only in heroku? You definitely need python for some of the modules because without it npm install will produce more errors, please stop trying to make this sound easy and give proper requirements. Not every environment has python pre-installed, Please at least list Python as a requirement as well. Please list the environment you have tested in. What OS or distro are you deploying this under? please list the exact OS, packages & versions and build dependencies such as python and what ever else thats installed on a system this this project actually works under. Just cloning repo and npm install & start isn't working because it's expecting something else in the environment which for whatever reason you are failing to mention. Please share specific details of your environment so we can at least mimic setup.

Something is broke in code or not all dependencies are properly installed. I had to modify your routes.js code to get project to run. Following comment contains modified routes.js file. I had to comment out part of code to get project to at least run.

I get the same error as you do if I run on node 12, what version on you using?

[aereaco]

I've tried this under 12, 14, 16, 17

[aereaco]

if you comment out lines 236 - 243 of /server/boot/routes.js the project will at least run.

// if (page.data?.title === "Not Found") { // // res.render("404", page); // res.render(front-end/${frontEndTheme}/layouts/404, { // layout: front-end/${frontEndTheme}/${frontEndTheme}, // }); // // return; // }

[lane711]

I'll do some additional testing on Windows and report back ASAP. I have not tested on Windows lately. Thanks for posting the details above

[aereaco]

If you comment out what was mentioned the project will run and you can reach admin side of app but not front end of app. If you keep routes.js unmodified app will not start at all. I'll try to see if I can replicate issue under Debian 11. What OS are you using please share? I would like for you to share the details of your environment in which you have successfully got this working so we can get this working.

[lane711]

I am using MacOS but have hundreds of installs across other OS. This might be the result of a recent code update - will investigate ASAP

[lane711]

after changing your version of node, did you delete your node_modules folder and rerun npm i?

[aereaco]

With each install attempt I completely deleted the project folder and re-cloned with git from github

[aereaco]

I have tried running this now under Debian, Ubuntu, & Windows to no avail.

[lane711]

I was able to reproduce your issue. It appears that it happens when using the latest version of npm. I should have this fixed in the next couple days but in the meantime you could use "n" package manager to downgrade to and earlier version of node like 14.x which includes the older version of npm. hth

[lane711]

Actually I was able to update the lock file, so you should be good if you get latest from master and try again.
