zeppelin-web: Failed to run task: 'npm install --color=false' failed

[Ophir Cohen]

Hi Guys,
I'm working on it for hours and can't find the problem.
I keep getting the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:0.0.16:npm (npm install) on project zeppelin-web: Failed to run task: 'npm install --color=false' failed. (error code 1) -> [Help 1]

While trying to build Zeppelin. Try on Ubuntu and Amazon's centos and keep getting the same result.

Can somebody has any idea what is the cause for that?

Thanks!
Ophir

It looks like on frontend app build some npm dependencies failed to install on your machine.

It might be because of some binary dependencies missing\need to be yum installed like a compiler toolchain, etc

can you post an `npm install` logs here please?

I also remember having difficulties on building it from root.

Hi Ophir,

Thanks for the stack. It seems that you are running the npm command inside of Zeppelin main folder.

Npm is used inside of zeppelin-web only, so you might want to run it inside of /zeppelin-web/

[Ophir Cohen]

OK,
Run it again in the zeppelin web:

Lets follow npm's advice: "Please try running this command again as root/Administrator."

sudo npm install :)

[Ophir Cohen]

:)

OK, now it works, first install all the npm needed dependency and than run the maven build.

Thanks you very much!
