The Junkyard Jumbotron is a web tool that makes it really easy to combine a bunch of random displays into a single, large virtual display. It works with laptops, tablets, smartphones -- anything that can run a web browser. And the magic is that all you need to do to configure one is take a photograph of all the screens.

Multiple errors on install (docs not sufficient - Linux) #2

Closed mixmastamyk closed 12 years ago

mixmastamyk commented 12 years ago

Been trying for hours to get this installed on ubuntu natty. Have worked thru a number of issues, but can't get past this one:

node jjserver.js
node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/express/1.0.7/package/lib/express/server.js:87:44)
    at Module._compile (module.js:402:26)
    at Object..js (module.js:408:10)

Answers here did not work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5161828/express-framework-giving-a-very-strange-error

I now have a number of packages installed, but unsure how to proceed.

Install a fresh copy. in the makefule replace $(NPM) install node-dev@0.0.5 with $(NPM) install node-dev@0.1.5

Make a copy of paramsLocal.js.Template as paramsLocal.js and insert your path to python. Edit Params.js port to an unused port.

Now, run: $ sudo -s $ make python-extension $make node-packages $node jjserver.js

Tell me how that goes!

mixmastamyk commented 12 years ago

By install a fresh copy I assume you meant wipe the folder and do another git clone. Is that correct?

Anyhow I did the above and get the same error. :(

JeremyRubin commented 12 years ago

Yes, that is what I meant.

Can you remove node and npm from your system, reinstall, and then retry?

mixmastamyk commented 12 years ago

Ok, looks like that powered thru the issue above. Seems to be running now.

Thanks for the help. More specific instructions for Linux or a short script would be great.

Hello,

I am a dummy beginner. I try to deploy in fresh virtual server. But there are some error while i try to do as your instruction above, starting from make python-extension. Could you help me?

Hi this code is super old and not maintained. I highly doubt it will work without major updates. On Fri, Mar 17, 2017 at 7:12 AM sutaid notifications@github.com wrote:
