Install script fails on fresh Ubuntu 16.04
  • I put Ubuntu 16.04 on an Oracle VM Virtualbox, and entered this code:
    I get this error and get kicked to prompt after the postbuild script:

    24 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:

    24 error Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
    24 error     npm owner ls superdesk-core
    24 error There is likely additional logging output above.
    25 verbose exit [ 1, true ]
    26 warn Local package.json exists, but node_modules missing, did you mean to install?
    Any tips on how to resolve this?

  • Have you set locale? I have installed on a fresh 16.04 in virtualbox myself now, and I am not getting those errors. I did get an error earlier but this was fixed with these commands:

    export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
    export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

    dpkg-reconfigure locales

    Ran it all as sudo user (sudo -i)
  • Boom, it worked. :)

    I had to make sure to run sudo apt upgrade first. Otherwise it failed while installing extensions.

    Thanks!
