If I download Wekan from GitHub, should I be able to install it with "npm install"?

I think snap does not work in CentOS 6 because CentOS 6 does not have systemd. Can you upgrade to CentOS 7 ? https://github.com/wekan/wekan-snap/wiki/Install

Other alternative is to install Docker and docker-compose and use docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/wekan/wekan , but Docker does not autoupdate, I recommend CentOS 7 and Snap

3rd way is to install node.js v8.16.0 and mongodb v3.2.x - 4.x (some version what you have available) and then download meteor bundle as described at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Platforms

But that 3rd way does not use any container, it does not have sandboxing like Snap/Docker.

Thank you!

This server functions as a shared host. I have access to it as a VPS server, but Apache, Puppet, etc... needs to run. I can't even reboot it. (ok, in case of emergency reboot would be acceptable)

So I would like to install as less things as possible, especially if it can interfere with the basic web hosting tools.

I think the 3rd way would be most desirable, but I don't completely understand, if I wget this: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/archive/v3.23.tar.gz is that a good starting point?

Ok, sorry I understand.

So I downloaded and extracted this: https://releases.wekan.team/wekan-3.25.zip

I'm getting this error on node main.js

Error: /lib64/libc.so.6: versionGLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /root/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/bin/linux-x64-57-glibc/fibers.node) `

I tried yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' yum install gcc-c++

didn't help

did you install fibers in that server directory? npm install fibers

Hmm, I'll try install CentOS 6 and look at what is the problem

I woud think that if it gives errors, those can be ignored. using start-wekan.sh should work anyway

yes, i did npm uninstall fibers and npm install fibers and it says the gcc version is not good

bundle does not have start-wekan.sh

Now it works, probably because I did npm install fibers in the /programs/server directory, and not in the root directory (bundle)

other things I did: I installed gcc-4.9.3 I added gcc to the path. in this system: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/gcc-4.9.3/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.3/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH I installed boost

This was a test server. Now I will install it to the main server and I will try to pay attention to what I do

It's likely that installing gcc will be necesarry, beacuse it gives errors...

this is $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /root/gcc-4.9.3/lib64/:/root/gcc-4.9.3/lib/:/root/gcc-4.9.3/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.3/: $PATH contains /root/gcc-4.9.3/bin/ gcc -v: gcc version 4.9.3 (GCC)

I don't know what else I can try... the test server works, so this is possible to solve.

solution was npm install [email protected]

Thanks! I added that info to https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Platforms
