Issues running a simple example on Centos 7, Help!

[Callum Elliott]

Hi there,

 

I'm having issues running a simple test from Centos and have installed the following:

 

1. sudo yum install git
2. sudo yum install nodejs
3. sudo yum install chromedriver
4. git clone...
5. npm install

 

The clone from git retrieves the following files (see contents below):

 

package.json
|____tests/
        |__ simpleTest.js

when I run 

 

$ npm run test

 

I get the following error

 

> mocha tests/simpleTest.js --timeout 10000

I've purposely not installed anything else as thought the npm install would grab everything it needs for the simple test.

 

Appreciate your help!  Thanks.
