Hopefully someone out there may have some knowledge to share regarding this issue I am having, setting up things for my first digital ocean droplet.
A tutorial I was following to use my droplet with noobhub, required me to type ‘packman -Sy’ at the prompt, and when I did the response was : no display possible
Is this because I needed to do Arch Linux(which was not available) instead of the Ubuntu 14.04 x64 she I set up my account on Digital Ocean???
I am trying to set up my droplet to work with noobhub. Can I/should I change from Ubuntu to something else? If I can/should, how do I do that?
Thanks

packman is an Arch Linux specific tool for package management. In Ubuntu, packages can be installed using the apt-get command. What packages do you need to install? What is the tutorial you were following? Most likely, you can accomplish the same thing on Ubuntu.
packman -Sy updates your sources on Arch. On Ubuntu, you’d run apt-get update
Presumably the tutorial you’re following will ask you to install something with pacman -S packagename The equivalent on Ubuntu is:
apt-get install packagename
Andrew,
Thanks for your help!
trying to setup/add noon hub ( a open source multiplayer api) on my droplet
tutotrial: ( is excellent and a simple tutorial - ‘simple’ if using Arch Linux) http://www.develephant.net/noobhub-multiplayer-server-for-corona-sdk-in-5-minutes/
so I tried this :
apt-get -Sy (instead of the ‘pacman -Sy’)
response : Command line option ‘S’ [from -Sy] is not known.
These are the next 4 commands he advises to type in at the cmd line :
packman -S nodejs git cd /home git clone https://github.com/Overtorment/NoobHub.git forever start --spinSleepTime 10000 NoobHub/server/node.js
THANKS MUCH!!!
