11 years ago Ah. Maybe I am starting to see what is wrong. In your INSTALL.md, you don't say "clone sparkleshare-dashboard" here and I guessed wrong. It is vital to download of the node_modules in the right spot, inside the cloned sparkleshare-dashboard.
I found various wrong advice on this. For example:
http://www.deepthought.ws/linux/sparkleshare-dashboard/
That has the sequence wrong. They do not put node_modules INSIDE the sparkleshare-dashboard. THey say do the clone, and go in there and run npm install, and that gets the wrong version of express.
I believe the sequence of commands needs to be:
$ git clone https://github.com/tommyd3mdi/sparkleshare-dashboard.git $ cd sparkleshare-dashboard $ npm install express@2.5 express-messages i18n jade connect-redis redis sass mime
It is very important that node_modules be inside sparkleshare-dashboard.
Those other directions would have us download the npm stuff, then clone,then
$ cd sparkleshare-dashboard $ npm install -d
There's a big fail because the right version of express is not INSIDE the sparkleshare-dashboard folder. Instead, that downloads version 3.1.
Supposing I guessed right here, I just need help to know what config.js wants for the address of the repository.
If my user's ~/SparkleShare folder has 2 repositories, "work" and "manuscripts", shouldn't those paths just be like
'/home/pjohns/SparkleShare/workt' ??
I tried that:
$ node app.js stderr: fatal: Not a git repository: '/home/pjohns/SparkleShare/work'

Hi, I asked last week about a problem running sparkleshare-dashboard. You responded that I needed only express 2.5, and I'm trying my best to pin the version, but when I run the commands that you suggest, I still seem to get the wrong thing.
I did the install in an Emacs shell so I can just show you everything I did, and everything it did.
That builds node-v0.8.22 and, so far as I can tell, I'm following your instructions exactly.

I noticed in your Install.md, you don't actually write in the clone of sparkleshare-dashboard. So I'm guessing that part. And I don't know what "Start a redis instance" means.
I found various other guides on other editions of sparkleshare-dashboard on the Internet, so I tried to adapt those things.
The effort to run ends like so.
