Not working on linux #27

Hi, Thanks its working on Mac properly when i push it on server (linux), it does not work, give me this error. [Error: spawn ENOENT] code: 'ENOENT', errno: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'spawn' .

I've installed Flash as well on server. Is there any other dependencies for this?

Thanks. Muhammad Junaid

Hmm, can you check and see if xclip is installed on your linux server? This module uses that command line utility to gain access to the system's clipboard.

I just installed with this command, but still not working sudo apt-get install xclip. Any other solution you recommend ?

What happens when you run this command?

xclip -selection clipboard -o
junaidcs commented 9 years ago

It gives me this message Error: Can't open display: (null)

I think that means X isn't installed.

Right now this modules depends on xclip and X being installed to work correctly, which is unfortunate, but I think of a robust alternative. If you think of one, I'm all ears.

In the mean time, I'm going to close this issue.
