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

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.

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 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]
