 @DustinB3403 said: Install version 3.3.12 sudo npm -install -g [email protected]This line has a typo. The command is install not -install. Is there a reason that you are going for that specific version rather than just updating to current? npm install -g npm
- 
 @scottalanmiller the most recent version was unsupported. So it had to be >=2.27 but less than version 5

 I don't see a user explanation in the instructions. Where does the user come from and what role does it play? 
- 
 Don't mix nodeandnpmversion.BTW, it should work with latest nodeversion now.

It's for Dustin who wrote the instructions. Oh ok. I had a "user" in my playbook that needs replaced. I thought you were referring to that. I am using a variable for it now so you can just change the variable.

 What is there to understand about it? Following a base install of the server OS, i built a user named "xoadmin" which the mount directory uses /home/xoadmin/xo-web/dist/ in the .xo-sample.yaml file

 Something is different or changed...

 And now you discover why we release appliance with an updater and validated updates  Lodash team made a release 6 hours ago, and it broke everything. We are working on a way to avoid that, or reported this to them. This stuff is sadly not very uncommon.

If you are making a how to, you have to include the steps or else things are missing.

 @olivier What's the best way to know what Node and NPM version should be used? 
- 
 Ok, here's the updated playbook. Just add your hostname in /etc/ansible/hosts and your username in the variables file, it will do the rest. 
- 
 @anonymous Experience ^^ (if the build fails). In general, when there is a new big release of Node, dependencies can't catch the breaking changes for a time. That's why Node 5 broke the build for a time. You can use the LTS version of Node to be safe: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.2.0/ 
- 
 Hopefully LTS means more for Node than it does for ubuntu.
