Unable to start server on CentOS7

Unable to start server. It's looking for node_modules/babel-node/package.json which doesn't exist.

Seems like not a pogoserver related issue

[xomikronx]

@maierfelix any suggestions?

So I am able to install node-babel, I'm not an expert, but I don't know if it's the same package just named differently because of distro. I tried symlinking it to babel-node, which removes the error, but just hangs like this:

`> POGOServer@0.2.7 start /var/www/MyDOMAIN/POGOserver

nodemon --exec npm run babel-node -- ./src/index.js

[nodemon] 1.10.0

Here is a step by step CentOS-7 Install guide

1st Install dependencies and update

sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

you can also use nano if you prefer over vim of course using:

sudo yum -y install nano
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

paste the below

[mongodb]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install epel-release
sudo yum -y install git nodejs npm mongodb-org mongodb-org-server wget

2nd Update Node & npm

wget https://github.com/taaem/nodejs-linux-installer/releases/download/v0.3/node-install.sh && sudo sh node-install.sh

Reboot to apply new NodeJS version

sudo reboot
curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sudo sh

3rd Download & install POGOserver & start MongoDB

sudo systemctl start mongod
git clone https://github.com/maierfelix/POGOserver.git
cd POGOserver
sh run-linux.sh

NOTE

The problem you are having is you are using the epel versions of NodeJS & npm which are out of date.
You could most likely start from 2 and it would work but best to have the full instructions up here for anyone else. If you don't redownload the git remember to run

rm -rf node_modules && npm install

as the node_modules will be for the out of date version.

For some reason the steps provided isn't installing the latest node version. Installed nodejs manually from node repos and it worked. Thanks!

[durankeeley]

@xomikronx you are right, just tested this on a fresh VM, if you run the steps in sequence then it doesn't work, however rebooting after running the update for NodeJS works. Updated the above to reflect this.
