MEAN one-click droplet does not have anything pre-installed on it

Posted on December 20, 2017

As I specified in the title the MEAN one-click droplet neither have node, npm, mongo, express and other stuff that it should have already configured. Is there something that I am missing while creating the droplet? This is probably the 4th droplet that I created and the result is same. Whenever I try to check versions of the components as “node -v” it throws the message that “to install this please write apt-get …”.

Hi there,

Indeed, the MEAN stack 1-Click installation has been removed from the Marketplace.

What you could do is to manually install the separate components:

npm install express --save
npm install -g @angular/cli

For more information I could also suggest the following tutorial:
