Issues with installing the webapp

sbmueller commented 5 years ago

I'm stuck on lesson 2 chapter 12 of Intro to DevOps course. When I do sudo npm install, I already get the following errors

> node-sass@0.9.3 install /home/vagrant/devops-kung/node_modules/grunt-sass/node_modules/node-sass
> node build.js

Running the tests with grunt -v also yields errors, unlike in the video

Then I'm told to visit localhost:8080 on my browser, which just gives me a "403 Forbidden" screen. This does not seem intended. Please help so I can continue the course.

The problem is upstream with the devops-kung project: https://github.com/chef/devops-kungfu and the issue should be filed there.

I suspect devops-kung only works with an older version of Node. Use nvm to install the required version.

  "engines": {
    "node": "~0.10.0"
  },

@13rac1 thanks for your answer. While the problem might be in devops-kungfu, I think the Udacity course should be adapted as well. The general problem is simply that when I follow the course instructions precisely, I get the error above. If there are additional steps necessary or configurations need to be changed, this should be incorporated in the Udacity course.

Installing node 0.10.0 did not help.
