Big issues installing TextBelt on Ubuntu 18.04 #126

Closed uiser24 closed 5 years ago

uiser24 commented 6 years ago

On a clean Ubuntu installation, the dependencies dont seem like they are working in package.json.

After i do: npm install package.json I try start the server ./scripts/dev.sh, but it complained about 'supervisor' not being found. I installed supervisor globally with npm install -g supervisor Then started again ./scripts/dev.sh and it proceeded with the next error complaining about the following: Error: Cannot find module 'express' Error: Cannot find module 'underscore' i installed express and then it broke packages but still installed and said there were 22 vulnerabilities THEN again I started the server with ./scripts/dev.sh and it complained with:

Error: Most middleware (like cookieParser) is no longer bundled with Express and must be installed separately. Please see https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#middleware.
    at Function.get (/home/user/TextBelt/node_modules/express/lib/express.js:108:13)

I tried to install the new package cookie-parser but it keeps giving the same error!! What gives?? Am i the only one having this issue here? or have packages changed in nodejs since ubuntu 18.04 ?

Please help!!

I know this is a late reply, but in case anyone comes across this issue it has been resolved by updating the express dependency and removing the dependency on supervisor.
