   "npm install" is the problem because it wipes out node_modules leaving only the few it installs by default and nearly none of those required by c9. Doing "npm i optimist" and the rest, will eventually leave you with a few that c9 needs but don't exist elsewhere. I heard someone mention they cp'd the node_modules folder and replaced it after running the npm install but other than that... there has to be a cleaner way to do this... also the install-sdk script runs an npm install of sorts but editing this file is pointless because it does this weird thing where it gets replaced with a tmp.

   I was able to get the install script to run correctly and successfully by changing that crap bit of line "$NPM -production" to "npm install npm -g" (as basically a run once because the tmp replace) but of course it still wipes out the node_modules so maybe throw some "npm i"s in afterwards...

   install-sdk.sh already does npm install so no need to run that separately
   just tried with a fresh git clone, ./scripts/install-sdk.sh was all that was needed, worked just fine.
   npm 6, node 8

   I had this problem, and I fixed it by doing 2 things:

   1. It was on a new Linux install, and I hadn't yet installed node/npm, so when the script ran npm install, it didn't. Perhaps the install script should error out in that case?

   2. I kept getting a tmux error related to encoding. I added en_us UTF-8 as a locale, which fixed that problem.

   After that, I ran the install script again, and it worked without an issue. Sounds like when this problem arises, something is halting the npm install, or exiting before it runs.

   I was finally able to uninstall and install a different way (which I had already tried when I posted previously) about a week later and it just worked.On Apr 14, 2020 8:13 PM, Laís Lima <notifications@github.com> wrote: is it solved? —You are receiving this because you commented.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.
