rake aborted!

[Brian Pitts]

after the shell script installation I got this when I tried to rake cms

$ rake lms

(in /Users/md/edx_all/edx-platform)

rake aborted!

no such file to load -- json

I have installed dvm

I have installed jason

any ideas?

[Jay Zoldak]

Brian --

json is a ruby 1.9.3 standard library, so it seems like there might have been an issue with your ruby installation.

Check the log file for the install shell script for errors. It will be here: /var/tmp/install-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).log

Are you on osx or ubuntu?

What does `which ruby` return?

-- JZ

[Brian Pitts]

Thank you for your thoughts on this about this issue on Mac OS X (10.8).  To answer your questions:

meded$: which ruby

/usr/bin/ruby

meded$: ruby --version

ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]

When attempting to install ruby 1.9.3 here's what happens:

meded$: rvm install 1.9.3

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.

No binary rubies available for: osx/10.8/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p429.

Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Installing requirements for osx, might require sudo password.

Certificates in '/usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem' already are up to date.

[Sef Kloninger]

What is in that log file?   /Users/meded/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p429/1370191181_configure.log

[Brian Pitts]

Checked log after ruby install failure and found this:

[Sef Kloninger]

Looks like there's another log to look in -- config.log.  Look in there.  

Before posting to the list try googling on the errors you get.  This may a problem with your environment more than something edx specific.  Versions?  Permissions?

[Jay Zoldak]

I think you might be running into: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8032824/cant-install-ruby-under-lion-with-rvm-gcc-issues

Try installing like this:
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang

[Brian Pitts]

Tried that already.  But eventually got 1.9.3 to install by updating my commandLine tools installation within Xcode (go figure).  Unfortunately, here is where I am:

meded$: ls

edx-platform

meded$: cd edx-platform

ruby-1.9.3-p374 is not installed.

To install do: 'rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p374'

meded$: ruby --version

ruby 1.9.3p429 (2013-05-15 revision 40747) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0]

how bizarre is that?  And look when I do this:

meded$: ruby --version

The log file is below.  By the way, I get your point about searching for solutions before posting here.  After searching and trying for several hours on my own however, it seems reasonable to post here.

Cool.

The root of the repo has a .ruby-version file whose contents is: "1.9.3-p374"

which is why when you cd into the directory it tells you that it wants to use p374.

So that seems right to me.

However the rake command not finding the rakefile does not seem right. There is a rakefile at the root of the repo. Can you `ls -l rakefile` to confirm?

Oh, also if you were running the dev setup script to set up your environment, please `rake cms:update_templates` once before `rake cms` to populate templates into your mongodb. There was a bug in that script as released yesterday.

[Brian Pitts]

Here's what I did:

meded$: rake cms:update_templates

You need to `bundle install`

launchy is in the Gemfile

Bingo!  That was it.  I would have never figured that out.  Thanks.

[Brian Pitts]

ok so, this seems to have gotten me to the next step which I'm not sure is closer to actually using edX CMS or LMS.  Below is the output which seems long (is this normal?).  Not sure how to proceed other than a complete reinstall.  Any ideas?

[Jay Zoldak]

This looks like:
- you already have numpy 1.6.1 installed
- the edX platform is requiring 1.6.2 (see requirements/edx/pre.txt)

- numpy 1.6.2 is downloading and building

- but pip doesn't have permissions to remove 1.6.1

`pip freeze | grep numpy` to confirm the version of numpy installed

Are you running in a virtualenv? Was numpy originally installed with sudo?

 

[Brian Pitts]

so I updated numpy via sudo:

meded$: pip freeze | grep numpy

numpy==1.7.1

but still getting the same complaint about not being able to install numpy 1.6.2.

I've googled how to install bumpy 1.6.2 but could only find the --upgrade option.

I'm not using virtenv but it sounds like I should be.  What amazes me is how absolutely specific and unyielding the version requirements are for the  to get this software to work together correctly.  I followed the script installations exactly and I am running into all these issues.  Is it just me? Is this par for the course?

While I'm not from edX, I'm still sorry to hear that it has been a frustrating experience. :/ To be fair though, note that a lot of the issues you have been describing in this thread aren't really caused by edx-platform, but by the requirements or the virtual environment tools. I know it sounds strict to ask for the exact version number of every third-party library, but it's a common requirement for projects using Python or Ruby. It helps avoiding incompatibility issues down the line.

 

Also, keep in mind that the source code has just been released, so you are getting some of the rough edges that you wouldn't get later on, once the project has had time to address those issues.

 

But you still make an important point I think: the requirements are likely to remain a pain point for newcomers who aren't used to setup Python and Ruby virtual environments. Even with a polished script, it's really hard to handle all possible environments, and it can be hard to recover when such a script crash.

 

I liked how Discourse dealt with this issue, using Vagrant to automatically setup a VM: http://www.vagrantup.com/

 

It makes the first contact with the app very enjoyable, as it dramatically reduces the number of steps & possibilities of failure -- the first time, you just want to get it up and running. Cf https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md for the short version, and http://blog.discourse.org/2013/04/discourse-as-your-first-rails-app/ for a very beginner-oriented version of the installation instructions.

 

If it seems a good idea to have something similar for edX, I can look into it.

 

Xavier.

[Brian Wright]

I'd have to second this VM idea.

I've tried Moodle (an old version) and Khan's code with only mild success. I'm just a student, so I can't use BB or Canvas to create courses. The EdX platform would be my preferred CMS for a free-access FE/EIT/PE exam review site I'm planning to create, especially if any of the 6.002, 2.01, 3.091, 8.0X, ... XBlocks are made open-source. I can rtfm with quite some success, but I still have limited experience using the languages and environments here. I just would like to get the code working, ideally on my school's Apache server with its outdated PHP. I even have a clean install of Ubuntu Server 13.04 which I could use in case I don't get support from my department, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.

Once I have the CMS up and running, I'm confident I can cobble together a helpful resource. I just wish there was a straightforward, bug-free install. Binaries are probably out of the question for a long time. I would use a VM to get started, until the summer semester ends and I can focus on my project.

This sounds promising to me. Do you have any experience with Ansible? That appears to be the configuration mgmt tool the EdX folks are using. I don't but would be interested in creating some vagrant files - or perhaps even a base box - so we can all get on with working on the code instead of the install.

 

I don't have any experience with Ansible no - that will be a good occasion to try it : )

 

Ok then, I'll start having a look at Vagrant - I'll put it on a public repo if/when I manage to get something running, this way you can have a look.

 

To the powers that be :) -- would a pull request to support Vagrant be welcomed? If yes, any recommendations?

 

Xavier.

[Brian Pitts]

Vagrant combined with VMWare Fusion seems like an interesting solution to reducing the faff.  Imagine having vagrant files for deployment to AWS, Linode, or whatever.  Looking forward to reading what you find out.  For those python/django/rails newbies like myself wanting to set up a virtenv check out this video tutorial.  Also for those interested in using Ansible to write OpenStack deployment scripts and Vagrant to test them inside of VMs check out this slideshare.

Perhaps there should be a new google group titled "edx-install"?

[hafizhuddin amin]

+1. vbox image or ec2 AMI is enough perhaps?

also, I second the idea of open sourcing xblock in some courses mentioned somewhere in this thread. perhaps putting it somekind of repo so we can rake xblock:install it?

[Ned Batchelder]

Just a point of clarification:  XBlocks are Python code for implementing types of courseware components.  The components that make up the current edX courses are all in the edx-platform repo.  The content of courses is owned by the course authors, and is not public at this point.

--Ned.

[hafizhuddin amin]

thank you for clarifying. so, no custom components beside what already on edx-platform repo. i thought in the future we would like to share xblocks in way similar to npm/bundle/composer. 

[Brian Wright]

I will personally put my effort (however minuscule) into recreating any of the content from the current courses (6.002, 8.MReV, 2.01, 3.091, etc.) once our summer semester is over. Is there a place such as Trello, Github, or some forum/wiki type site where public-created course content could be shared? I know Khan Academy uses Trello to develop new exercises. Anyone have thoughts?

On a related note, I was blown away by the quality and breadth of content on the newly published 8.MReV course. These are tools which should be available to every mechanical or civil engineering student.
