So, I've been trying to build a MEAN (MongoDB Express Angular NodeJS) stack server to use for academic teaching purposes, as a student sandbox/training environment. I can install all packages fine, the problems appear when trying to generate a new project inside my Linux box. It always halts towards the end, with an error about "Busy File" or something along those lines, and thus the project is missing crucial files to run with the command 'ng serve'.
Another problem is the sync between host and guest, I am running Windows 10 as host, and using Debian 9 as the guest, and when editing and saving files on the host, NodeJS compiler is not triggering nor synchronizing my changes to the server.
I've tried some Vagrant plugins, such as FS-Notify and WinNFSD, but to no luck. I remember reading something about Nodewatch being the culprit, but I am not sure and I don't have much experience around Angular, Node and Vagrant together.
I've browsed the Github repository Vagrant Plugins, https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/wiki/Available-Vagrant-Plugins, but can't seem to find an appropriate solution to run an isolated MEAN stack Debian with only Vagrant and VirtualBox on a Windows host.
I am using Windows 10 as host, Debian 9 as the guest. Windows host is using Vagrant 2.1.4, and VirtualBox version 5.2.18. (I've tried using Docker, but it requires and consumes too many resources, unfortunately.)
I've noticed that there seem to be quite a few people with similar issues.
I would greatly appreciate any help or input on what to do. Thank you in advance.

Following this article worked just fine for me.
Don’t forget to start a second PowerShell and run
vagrant fsnotify
The only issue I’m currently trying to resolve is tslint going crazy in VS. Code and WebStorm due to the host system not containing node_modules.
I’ll get back here when I find a solution.

I've recently started working with STAF and couldn't get 2 machines to communicate with each other. One of those machines is a Linux ec2-instance on AWS and can't be pinged.
I was planning on pinging STAF from one virtual machine to another to see if the company firewall could be the cause of this but I can't seem to use commands on linux (like "staf local ping ping" on windows for example). When I try to run STAFProc with gdb (in /usr/local/staf/bin) I get the following error.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc
/bin/bash: /usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc: No such file or directory
(The STAFProc file is there though. Does gdb work from another directory?)
I'm not exactly experienced with STAF, AWS or even Linux so any help to get me started with debugging would be greatly appreciated.
Though it is a bit long since the question is asked and the op seem to figure it out already, I might still post my solution as well.
There is a possibility that it is caused by trying to open a 32bit binary on a 64bit device.
If you are working on Debian based os, try
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
I'm setting up an Ubuntu guest under Windows using VirtualBox for a colleague to provide him with a Linux-based development environment for a node.js application.
This colleague of mine can't or doesn't want to SSH into the VM and work in emacs or vim; he's a Sublime Text guy. So I have set up the project tree in a VirtualBox shared folder so he can access it from Windows (to edit) and the Linux VM (to build/test).
Unfortunately, npm install fails with file system errors. The problem seems to be extremely long path names resulting from deeply nested node_modules dependencies. I'm guessing we're hitting a Windows limit on filename length. The npm install works just fine in a regular (non-shared) directory in the VM.
Does anyone have ideas about how to deal with this problem? One idea I had was to somehow alias or link $MY_PROJECT/node_modules to another, non-shared location, but I can't figure out how to do that.
Update: I'm going to try this hack: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11976.
Update 2: Ended up using samba, which is probably what I should have done in the first place.
One option is to use one of the multiple ways for sublime to edit remote files over ssh, covered in some detail here
How to use Sublime over SSH
Another is try using the native windows version of node and have your colleague develop locally directly under windows.
I am trying to run a Binoinformatics program, DistMap on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x86_64). I am getting the error No such file or directory. But the file do exist in the required location.
I have used this program before and it ran perfectly fine. Yesterday I installed virtualenv-burrito for some other program, Seal. Since then I haven't been able to run DistMap.
I know there have been many posts regarding this error all over the internet. But the solution seems to be the same for all the posts.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
This solution is for running 32-bit application on 64-bit machines. But since Distmap worked before without any problem I dont think that is the problem. Still, I installed ia32-libs; just for the sake of it but no use.
I am sure the problem is virtualenv-burrito. So I uninstalled it from my machine (Deleted .virtualenv and .virtualburrito folders. Since that's the only way i found for uninstalling virtualenv-burrito on the internet). Still my application is not running.
How can I bring my system to default as in to the previous state of virtualenv-burrito installation?
I hope I will get some good suggestions. I have been struggling for sometime now.
Thanks.
I'm trying to put in production my shiny app. I can run my shiny app locally on my Windows machine, from R. However, since we need to use Linux to deploy the app over the web, we decided to use a Linux server for that. We access this Linux server remotely, from our local machines (running Windows).
I followed the instruction at the RStudio website, and successful installed Shine Server on the Linux server. Its's running on it. I don't know what to do next. So, my question is: what should I do next? Please, remember that I access the Linux server remotely (using puty). Also, I have almost no knowledge of Linux.
Any guidance on what to do next is very welcome.
Some info that may be useful:
I use a Ubuntu 12.04.3
I ran as root (I think, but I can use sudo, for sure).
Another person has access to this server besides me.
We use R 3.0.2
you can follow the instructions here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/shiny-discuss/NuZp0ziVXvw/BXHcIoXThnoJ
Short answer:
# this is all one line
sudo wget\
https://raw.github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/master/config/upstart/shiny-server.conf\
-O /etc/init/shiny-server.conf
# Start the server
sudo start shiny-server
Then just open a browser and point to it
So, I've been using ubuntu linux for a few months and loved it for my web dev. Everything simply works!
But I switched back to windows because linux sadly doesn't run 90% of my apps :(
So now I have a question, how do you work with git, composer and ssh on windows?
Should I setup a linux virtualbox or is it possible to be able to work comfortably without it?
"TortoiseGit" is a nice extension if you prefer some graphical support, and this needs "msysgit" to give the git commands on windows - which also brings you "git bash" if you prefer the command line. "msysgit" could be installed standalone.
SSH under Windows is always Putty. Grab the newest release 0.63, it has security fixes. To work easily with git then, you need to setup the whole public key authentication with "pageant" running in the background. Putty does a bad job configuring it to convenient levels, you have to manually add it to autostart. Or you could either use KeePass with the KeeAgent plugin to get the same (I prefer it a lot: All authentication stuff in one location).
Executing composer is a question of having installed PHP >= 5.3. If PHP is installed, you execute the alternative install command (without curl) and are nearly ready to go. Having PHP and the composer.phar in the path or add their location to the path eases things a lot.
Caveat: I have no experience with Windows 8 so far, things might be different there. My suggestions are supposed to work on Win 7 at least.
The biggest drawback of Windows is that there is no decent shell support I'd like. Having a virtual machine still is a good idea, but you need your development tools within Windows as well.
