I tried following the setup documents for the web front end but ran into issues with npm and bower.
Can anyone share their setup?
I was using a ubuntu 14.04 container on proxmox without much luck
Usually the latest Fedora release.
My guess is that Ubuntu 14.04 doesn’t contains the needed releases of the dependencies in the repos as this version is almost 30 months old.
I’m using Ubuntu 14.04. I recommend installing nvm. Otherwise no real problem.
My install notes for frontend:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install 4.2.3
npm install -g bower

rm -r node_modules/
