Difficulty installing

[Don Morrison]

I just tried to install nodeGame on a different machine than I’ve been using for development, and encountered a bunch of warnings and errors. This all seems like some sort of version skew, but I *think* I grabbed the latest nodeGame installer, and that I’m running an up to date version of node.js. This is on Ubuntu 18.04. I just created the directory /home/ddmlab/experiments/twobytwo/ so I don't think it can be a conflict with any previously installed version of nodeGame or anything like that. Any pointers to what I’m doing wrong?

Pasted below is what got spat to my terminal, and attached is the log file it cites.

Thanks

Hi Don,

That is a problem with the phantomjs package. It has been discontinued and it starts now to create problems on some installs. Maybe I will remove it from the next nodeGame version.

For the time being, you may try an alternative install.

You clone manually the nodegame repo 

git clone https://github.com/nodeGame/nodegame.git

Open the file package.json and 

replace this line 

"nodegame-server": "^6.0.0",

with:

 "nodegame-server": "git://github.com/nodegame/nodegame-server.git#nophantom",

Type:

npm install

Notice that the games folder will be empty. If you want the ultimatum game back you can simply clone it in there:

cd games/

git clone https://github.com/nodeGame/ultimatum-game.git

Let me know if you can solve it with these instructions.

Cheers,

Stefano

Hah! This will make my life easier since I want to populate the games folder from my own repo with the stuff from my development machine.

Thanks! I’ll let you know how I get on, though probably not for a few hours.

That's actually a good option: install the ultimatum game or not.

That seems to have worked. Thanks!
