Meteor npm start not working (Rocket.Chat) - node.js

I just cloned Rocket.Chat code and remove the .git from cloned code and init my git and pushed in my repository. But when I am trying to clone it somewhere else from my repository and trying to start the Rocket.Chat, it is giving following error. I am using latest versions of node and npm. Please help.

I found the issue. In current Rocket.Chat ".gitignore" file they put "build.sh" in ignore file list. And when we remove their git and add our git then the same named file on path "Rocket.Chat/packages/rocketchat-livechat/plugin" get ignored from commit. And Rocket.Chat is using that file when we run the "meteor npm start".

Try to run meteor npm install before running with meteor run.

Why is Heroku telling me it cannot find a package.json in my module when I do a heroku push

I created my own npm package from a fork of react-coverflow. It appears to be working fine in my app locally using it this way: "npm install react-coverflow-mod" --save.
I can run my app using "run with debug (F5)" in VsCode and npm start on the client folder to start the React front end.
Then I do an npm run build on the client folder, and it works just fine.
When I do a heroku push it fails everytime with this error:
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "../../react-coverflow-mod"
as it does not contain a package.json file.
1. I know there is a package.json in the module because I can install it via "npm install react-coverflow-mod": https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-coverflow-mod
2. The installed module has a package.json file in it
3. My github repo has a package.json in it: https://github.com/leroyvaughan/react-coverflow
I'm not sure how I can fix this. Do I need a package.json to go into the /Dist folder? What is wrong here with Heroku.
It seams like heroku try to install a package from a relative path instead of the published name. That would perfectly explain why you can run locally but not on a production environment.
Open your project and search for the exact string displayed in your log: "../../react-coverflow-mod" and you should be able to find quickly where it is.
If you run on a unix system (don't know about windows) you can do a search using grep:
grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e '../../react-coverflow-mod'
Make sure it includes your root folder which contain package.json, and might we wise to ignore node_modules which is always massive.

Issue cloning every repository

I have been cloning repositories with node and MongoDB but I always run into issues running npm install when I cd into the folder directory.
It has to be me because I happens every time. What am I missing?
Seems like npm install is the 3rd step after 1: git clone "repository link", 2: cd in clone folder.
Please guide me in the right direction.
Thanks a ton
You can run npm install from a directory where package.json file is located since this is the one which holds all the info regarding packages.
So just try to make it sure that the directory from where you are firing npm install command, have package.json file.
Apart from this, just check if you have npm installed. Run npm -v

Which script am I missing when trying to install framework7 custom build?

npm ERR! missing script: build-core:prod
I'm receiving the above error when trying to run the custom build for framework7 - https://framework7.io/docs/custom-build.html
I have gone through each step however I am running into this problem in cmder and I'm unsure why.
The error occurs at step 7 if this info is of any value
Any help would be appreicated.
The error says it cannot find the script build-core:prod.
I could replicate this error (missing build-core:prod), by NOT INSTALLING THE DEPENDENCIES after cloning from github.
So the steps are:
1. Clone the Framework7 Github repository
git clone https://github.com/framework7io/framework7 my-app
this will download the repository in a folder called my-app
2. Install Node.js
that's another topic, hope you have that installed
3. Install Gulp
npm install --global gulp
if you don't have that
4. Install dependencies
cd my-app
npm install
be sure that you are in the root of my-app (the directory you just created for the cloned repository)
this installs all the dependencies that Framework7 Custom Build needs
5. Duplicate my-app/scripts/build-config.js
and rename the duplicate to my-app/scripts/my-config.js
6. Open my-config.js and edit it as you need
7. Go to my-app folder (the root)
and run
npm run build-core:prod -- --config scripts/my-config.js --output path/to/output/folder
path/to/output/folder is a path to the folder where you want the customised files to be, it can be (for example) f7-my-custom-build
8. The custom build is ready,
hopefully you can work with it now. :)

NPM throws errors at traceur install on OS X

https://github.com/tejas-manohar/itnerary-civic-hacking -- I cloned this git repo down locally. Installed grunt-cli globally, and ran npm run nss (script written by author of original server template -- look in package.json, not complex) and faced numerous errors at the traceur install + git cloning. I've included the trail from terminal window in the pastebin linked below. The npm debug/error log mentioned is not present at the suggested location. npm install alone does not help the situation and returns nothing back. NodeJS v0.10.29 is installed via Node Version Manager (NVM) on OS X 10.9.3.

I'm not the most adept with some of the technologies discussed here. Would someone please attempt to walk me through (a) solution(s) and/or steps to get better clues? All assistance is appreciated.
There's a couple of problems going on which are causing the problems you have seen. The first of which is the command that is run when you run npm run nss, which fails for you with this:
rm: ../../app/static/js/vendor/traceur.js: No such file or directory
This is because, well, the file simply does not exist (yet). If you look at the commands which are run when you run npm run nss, you'll see that the remove file is followed by the copy file of traceur.js to that very location. So I would guess that whoever wrote the script intended for this to be run after it was initially setup, and the remove/copy would be done once the file was initially copied there. Therefore, you must first copy the traceur.js file to app/static/js/vendor before you can successfully execute npm run nss.
But then the next problem, the file should be copied from tools/traceur-compiler/bin doesn't exist either. This is because the traceur-compiler project has recently deleted this (compiled) file from their project, which you can see via this commit: https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler/commit/429c3d850dcb7636320e81fd782c61a06de0fbf1
So you need to regenerate this file, which you can do by (from the itnerary-civic-hacking root directory):
cd tools/traceur-compiler
make bin/traceur.js
cp bin/traceur.js ../../app/static/js/vendor
This will get you in the same state as if you successfully ran npm run nss.
You won't be able to re-run the npm run nss command, but you really shouldn't need to since its more of a setup command than anything (it creates a directory, clones a github repo, etc). If you wanted to update the traceur-compiler in the future (though you may never have to do this) then I would recommend running the following steps (from the itnerary-civic-hacking root directory):
cd tools/traceur-compiler
git pull origin master
npm install
make bin/traceur.js
cp bin/traceur.js ../../app/static/js/vendor

Skip "Installing dependencies with npm" step when pushing a Node.js app to Heroku

Running git push heroku master always triggers a step that prompts:
Installing dependencies with npm
This step loads and reinstalls all of the dependencies again even it already exists. This is very time consuming and I want to skip this step sometimes when I deploy that I know the dependencies are the same.
Is there any command or options that do this?
Its been a long time since you asked this question, now the Heroku buildpack caches node_modules, so install times will be much faster.
If however you still want to block npm install, here is one solution.
As of when I write this, the default Heroku build pack does not allow skipping npm install entirely. You can see in the dependencies.sh file, this line will always run:
npm install --unsafe-perm --userconfig $build_dir/.npmrc 2>&1
However, if you create a file called .npmrc in your project folder with the following contents:
dry-run
This will cause npm install to not modify your existing node_modules directory.
Note that this change will also apply to the npm prune command that Heroku runs, but WILL NOT apply to the npm rebuild command (which is probably fine).
try to remove
node_modules
for example
from you .gitignore
Simplest ways I've found are
heroku apps:rename newTemporaryName
then
heroku apps:rename originalName
or change the NODE_ENV and get it back to previous again.
heroku config:set NODE_ENV=dev
then
heroku config:set NODE_ENV=production
There are probably other, similar hacks but these should be sufficient.
