Meteor Node Fibers Error

scottalanmiller

When installing Rocket.Chat pretty much anywhere, this seems to be an issue. Anyone have insight on it?

# node main.js

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'fibers'

And when you try to install...

# npm install fibers
/
> [email protected] install /opt/Rocket.Chat/node_modules/fibers
> node build.js || nodejs build.js

sh: node: command not found
sh: nodejs: command not found

I did it once and it worked. The second time, it failed. That's not encouraging at all. Sounds like maybe there is an issue on the server side? I'm concerned about stability here.

You did a FULL install from scratch or just from partway through?

FULL. New VM and Everything.

@anonymous That's what I was afraid of.

I bet Ubuntu would be just fine.....

Ubuntu doesn't even support Mongo (or vice versa) so not likely. I tried Ubuntu and it didn't even get close.

Of FreeBSD, Ubuntu and CentOS, CentOS is the only one that I got working. But only one out of two times, thus far.

Okay, so the fibers issue is related to it not liking the NVM installation of Node.

So on CentOS 7, the secret is to install the epe-release, then install nodejs. This installs Node v0.10.36, which is not what anyone wants. But once that is installed, you can go back to using NVM and a modern Node release and fibers is able to install!

So...

yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install nodejs
npm install fibers

Ta da
