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

Wekan / General · August 21, 2019 at 5:36pm (Edited 5 years ago)

This is the link that I wget-ed. https://github.com/wekan/wekan/archive/v3.23.tar.gz

I run npm install in the server directory and in the main directory as well. Sometimes I got errors, I switched to different version of node with "nvm use v8.16.0" This way I didn't get error messages, but main.js is not created. Should this work what I'm doing, or I'm not even supposed to install Wekan without Docker?

I'm on CentOS 6

According to snapcraft.io "Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+", so using snap is not an option.

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

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

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

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

                        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]
