Canvas needs to build a number of assets before it will work correctly. You will need to run:

Your version of nodejs is very, very old (v0.6.12, current is 0.10.26 and 0.12 is just around the corner). Try upgrading it. I'd either install the linux binary from nodejs.org, or use something like `nvm` or `n` to manage node versions.

Updated note but now I get working directory error...

/var/canvas# node -v

/var/canvas# npm install --production

[Fred D.]

I wonder if I can skip that step. Bundle rake seems to work fine (without that first step).

sysadmin@appserver:/var/canvas$ npm install --production
sysadmin@appserver:/var/canvas$ bundle exec rake canvas:compile_assets

[Fred. D.]

I was wrong. Rake failed too. I'm back to reinstalling everything (2nd time).

I'm stuck again. :-(

I'm not sure what the '--production' piece does, but just running 'npm install' from the Canvas application root took care of things for me.  It installed the missing module referenced in your error (along with many more).  Maybe give it another shot.

[Graham Ballantyne]

The --production flag to `npm install` tells npm to not install modules listed in the devDependencies section of package.json. Instructure’s package.json file (https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/blob/stable/package.json) lists all of its dependencies inside the devDependencies section, and there is no dependencies section, so nothing will be installed when using the --production flag. 

The --production flag is used when deploying to production servers, etc, where you don't need to bother installing your development dependencies, like test frameworks & documentation generators.

I edited the Production Start page to remove the --production flag. I would argue that package.json file needs to be changed to use `dependencies` rather than `devDependencies` as these packages are required for the application to run, and not for development.

Thank you both. That was it -- removing production flag resolved the issues for me. Yay!

Hi all,

I have gone through this nodejs and npm issue with this message : "npm WARN cannot run in wd canva...@0.0.0 ./node_modules/napa/bin/napa (wd=/var/canvas)".

Current nodejs version: 0.8.15

Current npm version: 1.1.66

- sudo npm install or npm install - still have the same error...

I have also installed nodejs latest version...still the same error...

Now I'm thinking to move from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 13 with latest nodejs version (including npm).

Any idea ? Thanks

B.

[Graham Ballantyne]

Try upgrading to a more recent version on Node. I think 0.10.26 is current. 

Graham.

Hi Graham,

I'm upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 LTS and will install the latest version of nodejs. Will update the result here in few.

Hi Graham,

I have updated to 0.10.26 and still have this error message: [npm WARN cannot run in wd canva...@0.0.0 ./node_modules/napa/bin/napa (wd=/var/canvas)]

It's like an issue with napa (root right level) and rjs-old (files are missing)...

[brains...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Here a fix after 3 days trying to fix this issue...

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm

And it works like a charm...

[b0rgBart]

Hello - I am trying to install Canvas LMS on my local Mac for the first time, using the Get Started script.

The first time I had trouble installing NPM - I saw this message thread and tried "sudo npm install --unsafe-perm",

but after completing the install I found than none of my 'public stylesheets' were working, so I went thru the whole

installation process again, and now I am still having trouble installing NPM - even with the '--unsafe-perm'.

Here are the errors:

> node-gyp rebuild

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/contextify/src/contextify.o

  SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/contextify.node

ld: library not found for -lgcc_s.10.5

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

gyp ERR! stack     at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:1067:12)

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thanks!

[Nick Kokkos]

Your stack trace shows->

ld: library not found for -lgcc_s.10.5

You are missing this library. If you were on Ubuntu , that would be easy to fix but on mac os I really have no experience to help you

[b0rgBart]

Thanks Nick.

I tried it again this morning - and installed the assets separately from the main script, using this:

bundle exec rake canvas:compile_assets

And that seems to have worked.
