local development setup fails with 'grunt not found' error

[hallvors]

I tried to clone webcompat.com repo and do "make install" on a Ubuntu laptop. After a while it said:

Ah, I forgot sudo.. May I remove the brackets from the command in the docs? ;)

[hallvors]

(but repeating the command with sudo just fails differently)

[hallvors]

make: *\ [install] Error 1

@hallvors have you install Grunt and Grunt cli -g ?

[hallvors]

Yes. Supposedly. But the weirdest thing is that if I type "grunt" in a terminal, nothing happens..

[magsout]

which grunt ?

[magsout]

@hallvors you can test if cli is installed globally : which grunt

MacBook-Air:webcompat.com GuillaumeDEMESY$ which grunt
/usr/local/bin/grunt

[hallvors]

/usr/local/bin/grunt

[magsout]

@hallvors npm install and `grunt ?

[hallvors]

Something is very weird on this system - running grunt just quits silently every time. No error message, nothing. Hm.. this might solve it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19953216/grunt-doesnt-give-any-output-ubuntu

[hallvors]

Now it works better :) No CSS is applied because the /css/webcompat.dev.css file is 404 - but I assume a "make build" will fix this?

[hallvors]

All set!
