Not able to run wire-webapp locally about wire-webapp HOT 5 CLOSED

@mythsunwind spot on! Thank you very much for the hint! This is a new computer, and I'm still forgetting important traits here and there. The disk's filesystem was FAT32, that's why it was failing.

I'm going to have to re-format it to NTFS as soon as I get some time. I'm pretty sure it will resolve my problem.

Thank you all again for your quick help. Wire rocks!

In general when installing local dependencies with npm install you should never use sudo and it looks like your issues starts there so let's try to fix that first..

The following links might be quite helpful..

• https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16151018/npm-throws-error-without-sudo

Try fixing the npm permissions and report back with your findings.

@lipis thank you very much for the quick reply. Before going with sudo I did try to run the command without it, but I remember getting the same result, which by the way required from me to run the same command as Administrator. That's why I tried it again with sudo.

Anyway, following your reply, I purged everything from my system (that is, I fully deleted npm-related folders from my /home/{user} folder, and also the entire wire-webapp folder), followed the steps from your two links, made a fresh installation of wire-webapp and ran npm install. Unfortunately, I think I got the exact same result. Due to the length of the output, I'm only pasting here links to the paste-bins:

As the output suggests, here's the content of my npm-debug.log:

I'm not sure whether this matters, but my computer is Acer Cloudbook, meaning my processor is Intel Celeron N3050.

[*] EDIT: I just realized that my file's content got cut off. So here's the entire file here:

The error message shows that npm has issues with creating symlinks in a certain directory. The name of the directory lets me guess it is an externally mounted filesystem.

Can you check if it is possible to create a symlink at all in a directory on /media/DATA128/ by using the command ln? Maybe it is a filesystem type that does not support or allow this. Also a good idea to check permission and owner of the directory.

Can you also specify which OS you are running?

For anyone getting the same issue, I just learned that npm install --no-bin-links will in fact allow you to install packages on a FAT32 file system. I still haven't tested this with wire, but will come back with results when I do.
