Re: [flux-dev] Trouble installing Flux-server

The npm install is supposed to install 'bower' as a dev depencency and then use it to download/install some client-side js dependencies.

Seems like something is going wrong with that for you.

Try this on the commandline: "npm bin"

What do you see?

Should be directory, something like this:

/home/kdvolder/commandline-dev/flux/node.server/node_modules/.bin

Then check what is in that directory. On Unix-flavoured os there would be a bower executable (shell script) in that directory. In my case I am finding a link like the following:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 kdvolder kdvolder   18 Oct 14 15:03 bower -> ../bower/bin/bower

That is how the bower command "$(npm bin)/bower" can then be executed.

For some reason this is not working in your case (Windows). Not sure why, but maybe with this information you can figure it out.

Hello folks,

I synced up the flux repo after a while and started facing trouble when installing the flux-server modules. I get the following error on "npm install"

> flux-server@xxxxx prepublish c:\work\Flux\repo\flux\flux\node.server
> cd flux.orion.integration; $(npm bin)/bower install

The system cannot find the path specified.

npm ERR! flux-server@xxxxx prepublish: `cd flux.orion.integration; $(npm bin)/bo
wer install`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the flux-server@xxxxx prepublish script.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the flux-server package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR!     cd flux.orion.integration; $(npm bin)/bower install


I am running this on a windows machine inside cygwin. Is anyone aware of this problem and guide me through the set up? I appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Jay
