NodeBB npm: Command not found while installing nodebb.

Hi,
So I am following the Nodebb install guide :

• Installed Passenger
  
• Redis installed and running
• Domain vhost setup
• nodebb downloaded

Now when I try to install it, I get this error :
npm: command not found

---

What to do ?

Here is the output of nginx -V

nginx.conf has passenger.conf included.

so what am I doing wrong ?

 

I knew I was forgetting some info while creating the post. Here are the bits I left out by mistake :

1. It is a fresh CMM installation (last week) with Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08) (123.08stable)
2. Yes, I logged out and logged in a few times already. No help.

so instead of trying to fix this, should I try switching to the beta version and try then ?
If its the latter, should I reinstall everything from scratch ?

 

yeah, a completely fresh server as of now. Will do. Thanks

 

sigh..even a fresh installation (beta cmm + nodejs.sh) is giving new errors. getting frustrating.

 

I followed the official guide this time. Looks like nodebb is not getting started.

 

your last two posts and the new update is really helpful. Atleast nodebb is starting up now. But for some reason, the nginx proxy is not working. I can reach nodebb at domain.com:4567, but domain.com shows the default centmin page.

include-nodebb.conf :

Code:

 location ~ ^/(images|language|sounds|templates|uploads|vendor|src\/modules|nodebb\.min\.js|stylesheet\.css|admin\.css) {
        root /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/nodebb/public;
    }

    location /nodebb {
        root /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/nodebb/public;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_redirect off;

        # Socket.IO Support
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }

}

If I am not wrong, all the files have root as owner (domain.com/public and the include-nodebb.conf). Shouldnt they be owned by nginx ?

 

Pardon the noobness, but I dont get your reply. I did check the first post and configured the above files accordingly. What am I doing wrong ?

 

oh..my bad. That fixed it. Thanks a lot, George. You are such a life saver.
