Unable to install sofa.io on MAc running Mavericks

Question

Unable to install sofa.io on MAc running Mavericks

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 13 comments

I tried installing sofa via the download button and run script .. but on running the script I got several errors essentially saying there weren't .json files and that it couldn't find a local grunt.

The json files are in the same directory as the run script Not sure how to check for grunt.

Attempting to open the localhost:9000 doesn't work, not surprisingly.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi @moses5407, my apologies for the late reply. I tried this just now and I had no errors whatsoever. Possibly you are missing one of the required dependencies. Do you have Grunt installed globally? You should do so using npm install -g grunt-cli.

Could you post here the full output of your error?

Answer 2 · 2014-10-16T08:14:49.000Z

I installed grunt via that command prefixed with sudo and it succeeded.

But when I run "run" i get this:

✔ npm installed

✔ bower installed

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt

hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about

installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

logout

[Process completed]

so, it's not finding grunt locally despite the global install?

Answer 3 · 2014-10-16T08:33:00.000Z

The run script appears to be executing inside the directory /Users/jamesmoses/which is weird. I'm also on Mavericks so it's surely not an OS issue. Where did you extract the file? From what folder are you running the ./run command? Are you doing ./run or just run?

Also (you likely heard this before) you should not install dependencies using sudo, rather make sure that npm and others have correct permissions. But that's another story and likely unrelated to your problem here.

Answer 4 · 2014-10-16T08:51:41.000Z

why is that weird? I'm new to Mac but this is how the machine is setup...
I unzipped the file which was in Downloads .. and it created a subdirectory
app-master.

There were no instructions to move or unsip it into a particular folder.
Does this matter?

"run" gives a command not found error

./run gives the prior errors .. ending in unable to find local grunt

I erased everything, re-unzipped and did further install without sudo ..
but the end result was the same.

thanks

Answer 5 · 2014-10-16T08:52:42.000Z

should I be installing a local grunt and, if so, how?

thanks, again

Answer 6 · 2014-10-16T09:03:09.000Z

It is weird because the run script seems to execute inside of /Users/jamesmoses/ instead of the unzipped folder.

Are you in a Terminal executing the ./run command? Like this? You need to run the command from a Terminal inside the unzipped folder, which is then inside your Downloads folder. This should be ~/Downloads/app-master

nikke in ~/Downloads/app-master
$ ./run
✔ npm installed
✔ bower installed
  Installing node dependencies...

Regarding Grunt you just need it globally, the run script takes care of the rest.

Seems to have gotten further now! It now fails because it can't seem to read one of our repositories.
I've updated the script, could you please try again with a fresh download copy?

Answer 9 · 2014-10-17T20:25:45.000Z

Hi, NIck

Sorry for the delay .. long work hours and timezone difference.

Here's the result after downloading a fresh copy from sofa.io:

It does appear that Xcode is required, something we missed. I'll add that as a dependency, can you try the following answer on SO? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17980759/xcode-select-active-developer-directory-error-on-osx-mavericks

Could you try again after you installed Xcode and tried the answer from the SO link above?

Answer 11 · 2014-10-18T18:53:13.000Z

HI, NIck

I downloaded and installed xcode .. then set the path per the SO link.

Running ./run from the downloads/app-master directory failed BUT
running sudo ./run succeeded!

Thanks very much!

This looks great! I'm going thru the docs later today.
Is there an admin section/panel?

Answer 13 · 2014-10-18T19:17:59.000Z

Great to hear you got it working! Unfortunately our app does not ship with an admin section panel, as the local data is just for testing. For now the app is meant to be linked up with a remote API such as the couchcommerce SaaS. It's a good idea for the future though!
