I am trying to install mean.js on my ubuntu 16.04 using the following guide. And I keep getting stuck at the grunt stage.
There were issues with building node so I install using nvm https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-16-04#how-to-install-using-nvm
Then there were issues with bower where the process was killed. Managed to solved that by adding swap. I have the 512 MB ram settings. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04
Now my problem is grunt. I now have this error.
/opt/mean$ grunt A valid Gruntfile could not be found. Please see the getting started guide for more information on how to configure grunt: http://gruntjs.com/getting-started Fatal error: Unable to find Gruntfile.
Then when I tried
/opt/mean$ npm install npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /opt/mean/node_modules/tiny-lr/node_modules npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /opt/mean/node_modules/tiny-lr/node_modules/body-parser/node_modules npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /opt/mean/node_modules/tiny-lr/node_modules/raw-body/node_modules npm WARN eslint-config-airbnb@6.0.2 requires a peer of eslint-plugin-react@^4.0.0 but none was installed. npm ERR! path /opt/mean/node_modules/tiny-lr/node_modules npm ERR! code EACCES npm ERR! errno -13 npm ERR! syscall access npm ERR!

This is my second droplet try.

I tested a few iterations before I get to this point…
After I execute
Then commented
All the mongo error went away.
After I execute
as per https://github.com/meanjs/mean I get the Mean.js test page :)
I don’t think this is the right way though. So the problem is still not solved. There has to be a better solution.
Anyway before I commented the mongod.conf. It generated the errors below.
After I commented the mongod.conf, no more errors.
@hansen
Thanks, I will try other alternatives too. Anyway I pasted the results of the command.
@hansen I am trying to verify that my installation is alright by getting the window below. Mean successful installation Unless there is another way to verify this?
