Nova Installation Error about nova HOT 9 OPEN

Well, the first things I notice are both less than ideal: you're installing nova as root (needs to be installed under the 'nova' user) and your node/npm versions are highly out of date. What OS are you trying to install this on?

from nova.

Hello! I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.4.
Thank you for pointing out the root installation.
What's weird though is I've tries installing this on quite a number of boxes as root and it's only til recently that I've encountered any problem. I'll try installing it as 'nova'.

from nova.

I ran the installation using 'nova' user and it's a no joy. Still getting the same errors.
I also tried updating nodej and npm but to no avail....

from nova.

It looks like maybe the node install for getting the node_modules folder
failed midway, there are a lot of ENOENT's for files in node_modules
subdirectories. Try and uninstall node and npm and use the downloaded node
version in the Quasar directory to make/install from scratch. I don't know
what else the problem could be if the versions of node and npm are correct,
aside from a bad npm install that didn't get cleaned up.

I installed on Centos7 successfully, but I had a similar error. After the getDependencies.sh script runs, I had to update npm, but NOT node. To do this I ran:

npm install npm -g --ca=""

I added this line right before you change permissions on the .npm/ directory:
chown -R $NEW_PERM .npm/

Hopefully this helps!

Thank you! Following your advise, I was able to install the Nova.
Quasar runs now and I can access the GUI. However, for some reason I can't run the haystack.
I'm getting a "interface_new: intf_get" error

P.S. - I'm trying to follow this step >> I added this line right before you change permissions on the .npm/ directory: chown -R $NEW_PERM .npm/ >> but I can't seem to find the npm directory you mentioned.

.npm would be in your home directory, or at least it should be. It'd be under the $HOME of the user it was installed under.

interface_new: intf_get means honeyd is having problems finding the interface that it's being told to use. Are your interfaces names eth0, eth1, etc.? Or something else? Can you try running the following command on the command line and show the output?

novacli start haystack debug

from nova.

Hi! I'm using "eth0" as the interface name. Below is the command output you asked for:

Honeyd V1.6d Copyright (c) 2002-2007 Niels Provos

Thank you very much!

Hi Guys,

I still can't install Nova after so many attempts.
Would appreciate if someone could help me out please.

My last attempt was a straight forward install from a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 and running:

wget https://raw.github.com/DataSoft/Nova/master/debian/novaInstallHelper.sh
sudo bash novaInstallHelper.sh

Still getting the errors:
