arangodb hello-foxxx sample application installation in OSX - arangodb

I'm trying to run the 'hello-foxx' example on my Mac OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite but fail.
ArangoDB is installed and running (from the App store)
Foxx-Manager runs (typing foxx-manager returns the response as described in the manual)
The anrangodb web interface runs (but w/o the 'application' menu
When I execute:foxx-manager install hello-foxx /example
from my home directory I receive the following error:
'Cannot call method 'byExample' of null'
I also tried to run it directly from git:
foxx-manager install https://github.com/arangodb-foxx/demo-hello-foxx.git /example
returns the same error.
tried a local installation and received the same error.
Any ideas?
I can't find the log files. Where should I look?
Many thanks.

The app store version is three versions behind the current release. I recommend installing Arrangodb with Homebrew instead. I did this yesterday and had no problems with Foxx Demo on Yosemite.

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module, on Mac M1

I had been trying to resolve this issue and had tried running the app via rosetta terminal, but same issue persists. I tried installing the sharp package globally but that to did not help.
Here is a snippet of the error :-
I think the issue is something related to Sharp package specific for the arm architecture
I was trying to setup a repo on my system locally and simply ran yarn dev. I expected the server to start but the same error keeps coming again and again .
I think your problem is related to this conversation: https://github.com/lovell/sharp/pull/3514
Specifically "On an M1/M2 based machine, the dylib files provided by a globally-installed vips (via Homebrew or otherwise) will be ARM64, therefore we cannot use these when running Node.js under x64 emulation as there will be a runtime conflict."

NodeJS not recognized under Windows 10

I am using the LTS version of NodeJS. The problem started with version node-v16.18.0-x64 and did continue with node-v18.12.0-x64.
What I am doing:
Developing Playwright test. I ran the test and NodeJS was working. After one minute, I rerun the test and NodeJS is no longer recognized in my OS.
The issue appears when I am using Cypress, so I think the issue is not related to the technology that I am using.
I checked the environment variable: It is there.
The workaround I am doing is to uninstall the NodeJS from the control panel and install it again. There is an option to repair the NodeJS installation. But when I try to use it, I receive an error message that the NodeJS is not installed on this OS.

In the linked question, what does the op talk about regarding installing node.js in the working directory?

I am a complete newbie to all this.
I tried to install node.js 4 times and then again uninstalled it every time trying different things, thinking one of them would work.
The link to the question is-Cannot find runtime 'node' on PATH - Visual Studio Code and Node.js
After I typed $node --version in powershell terminal in VSCode (after installing node.js in C drive, defaulting to all recommended options in the setup) I get an error. I have uploaded the image of the error.
the error
Please tell me how to get node.js working with VSCode.
To get the version of Node, just type node --version in the terminal without the "$".

Error executing action install on resource 'windows_package[Node.js]'

I am trying to install workup in my parallels in Mac Book Pro.
I tried the command workup on powershell (in Administration Mode).
But when I run this command it throws this error as shown below and because of it I am not able to continue my further installation.
Error executing action install on resource 'windows_package[Node.js]'
I am also adding the snapshot of the error . So, please refer to it as well.
The problem is solved by uninstalling the node.
There was mismatch in node versions.
So, I uninstalled node from the system and workup itself install's node and it works after this.
Thanks :)

Meteor support developing on Windows

Does Meteor support developing on Windows? I did not see any downloads or mention of Windows in the docs.
The "Quick Start" assumes you are on *Nix OS.
Meteor 1.1+: official Windows support launched on https://win.meteor.com/
Meteor 1.0+: there is an official Windows preview.
Meteor 0.8 and older: see http://win.meteor.com/
Proof, Meteor running on Windows.
Edit: See Tom's answer.
Old answer below.
No, this is not yet supported on windows. If you try to install in you will receive the following error:
Sorry, this OS is not supported yet.
As a workaround you can run a linux box in a VM and use that as a server to run meteor but still do all development from within windows. I've done this using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu with no GUI. Here's the steps:
Install VirtualBox
Grab Ubuntu ISO
Setup Ubuntu VM using VirtualBox (just follow the wizard steps)
Install samba on VM to enable file access from windows. This article was a great help.
Install ssh using Ubuntu Software Center. This was helpful.
Shutdown VM and run from a DOS prompt using vboxheadless -startvm "VM Name"
You can then use a ssh client (I'm using cygwin) to connect to the box to run commands e.g. ssh user#box_ip_address
Can browse and edit files using windows file share e.g. \\box_ip_address\share
Can run meteor apps within local browser, just replace the localhost in the address that meteor assigns with the ip address of the box.
I just tried to install it with curl on Windows 7, and got:
Sorry, this OS is not supported yet.
A substantial update as the existing answers to this question are very out of date.
Official Windows support can be found at https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows
Unofficial Windows support for Meteor can be found on http://win.meteor.com/
There are 3 solutions outlined on win.meteor.com, one native MSI installer, and 2 virtualized solutions based on Vagrant:
1) MSI Installer:
Stephen Darnell has picked up where Tom Wijsman graciously left off.
This solution is the most straight forward way to get Meteor running
on Windows with an MSI Installer provided. There are some trade-offs
because this is a fork and can lag behind the latest version as
Stephen can update to and test the latest version.
2) Vagrant Shell Provisioning
Gabriel Pugliese has posted a guide for how to provision Meteor on
Linux with Vagrant's Shell Provisioning. These may be more accessible
to users familier with Linux and Shell scripts. This solution is
easier to tweak through the straight forward shell commands than the
Chef alternative.
3) Vagrant Chef Provisioning
Matthew Sullivan is maintaining a set of Vagrant files, Chef cookbook,
and guide for provisioning Meteor on Linux with Vagrant. This Chef
solution is a slightly more automated and configurable than the shell
solution, however likely not as simple to tweak beyond the provided
configuration parameters as the Shell solution.
GitHub Repos and details can be found on win.meteor.com. The three authors are very responsive on the Meteor-talk Google Group.
A bit of history:
Unofficial Windows support for Meteor was started by Tom Wijsman, and was supported by Tom until 0.5.9. Versions 0.6.0 and later are by Stephen Darnell, Gabriel Pugliese, and Matt Sullivan.
I do not see Nitrous.io mentioned here.
I am using Nitrous.io together with Nitrous Desktop, which allows you to use your favourite text editor (in my case, Sublime Text).
There is a quick tutorial here and Discover Meteor also deals with this in chapter 2.
It sounds like Windows is not supported yet. If you want to play with it, I would suggest grabbing VirtualBox and installing your favorite flavor of Linux on it.
I downloaded the above .msi installer and installed to c:\Meteor
Add the c:\Meteor directory you just made to your PATH environment variable.
Run the following command: npm install Meteor-Test-Installer
Add the C:\Meteor\bin\node_modules\npm\bin directory you just made to your PATH environment variable.

Update the MondoDB folder with the latest mogodb files from the mongodb site.
I've found that new coders who are also new to Meteor might have installed it correctly, but are having trouble figuring out how to open and run it. So I'll just address that issue in this post.
1) I assume you went here: http://win.meteor.com/ and downloaded the MSI installer
2) I assume you then created a newapp in meteor and then ran meteor
3) If steps 1 & 2 are complete, you should see this in your command line:
Initializing mongo database... this may take a moment.
=> Meteor server running on: http://localhost:3000/
4) Open Chrome and type in the local host address: http://localhost:3000/
5) Open your newapp folder - should be located in your Meteor folder wherever its installed on your hard drive
6) Open your newapp.html, newapp.css, and newapp.js files in your favorite editor (like Sublime Text 2)
7) Begin editing these files as you like and watch your page automatically update, as Meteor is designed to do.
Voila!! You're building with Meteor. Enjoy!!
As of two days ago, a preview version is available here:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows
Recent check of their site and checking their FAQ, you'll find the Meteor Development Roadmap. They host it on Trello and after the 1.0 launch, you'll see "Official Windows Support." So, it's on the map - now we wait!

Using linux in VM you probably want meteorite which isn't easy if you are as bad as I am to Linux... Here's how (thank you johntday Unable to install meteorite on Ubuntu VM):
Here are my Install Steps
Update and Upgrade your Ubuntu Depending on how up-to-date your image is, this may take a while.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Install curl sudo apt-get install curl
Install node http://lucidservices.com/2013/09/17/install-node-on-ubuntu/
Install meteor curl https://install.meteor.com | sh
