Error Installing on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS about flowbat HOT 15 CLOSED

None yet. This has been on the back burner, but Jason is working on this and we're hoping to have it resolved in the next couple of weeks.

from flowbat.

I wrote up some instructions on what worked for me to get FlowBAT installed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This should technically work on later versions of Ubuntu. If I have time I'll see about modifying the install script.

This is due to a number of changes from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 including but not limited to the nodejs implementation and the change from upstart. Will try to get a new installer for 16.04.

Any progress on this issue? Having the same problem with install on latest version of Linux Mint

from flowbat.

This issue should be fixed soon, but nothing yet. It will require a
different install process currently, so I'm working to streamline that.

Ha, I was all excited...almost done with the install...and then...same error as above.
I'm running Mint 18.1, I guess you have to create something for systemd?

Can I manually start it?

from flowbat.

Yes, and a symlink for node->nodejs basically. Ubuntu16.04 compatibility is next on the update list. As far as manual starts go, you can either run "sudo service flowbat start" (on 14.04) or node /pathtoflowbatdirectoryhere/private/bundle/main.js. In 16.04 and above you might have to specify nodejs instead of just node.

from flowbat.

I was able to get it working by using nvm to backport the version of node to 0.10.48.

I also created a systemd service "flowbat.service" in /etc/systemd/system

[Unit]
Description = Starting FlowBAT
After = network.target
[Service]
ExecStart = node /pathtoflowbatdirectoryhere/private/bundle/main.js
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

Then enable the new service and start it:
systemctl enable flowbat.service
systemctl start flowbat.service

from flowbat.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi,
do you have any working installer for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS ?
I just tried the installation for 1st time, and failed -- proceeded to try to get node.js installed, nvm, and tried the last section posted by Dasutin --

output looks like this:

It looks like mongod is running, which could be indicative that you have a meteor app running.
Are you sure you want to continue the install of FlowBAT? [y/n] y

Is there a high possibility that it will be ready in oct.? Or is it more likely the end of the year?

to force meteor to a specific version also fixes the fibers issue on ubuntu 16.04.
