node registerAdmin.js fails
I am following the EDX course and get the error below when trying to run node registerAdmin.js. What am I doing wrong?
auridas@auridas-VirtualBox:~/Projects/education/LFS171x/fabric-material/tuna-app$ node registerAdmin.js /home/auridas/Projects/education/LFS171x/fabric-material/tuna-app/node_modules/fabric-client/lib/Client.js:746 async _createOrUpdateChannel(request, have_envelope) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had the same problem and I fixed it. You must have:
- node runtime LTS version 8.9.0 or higher, up to 9.0 ( Node v9.0+ is not supported )
- npm tool version 5.5.1 or higher
Check It.
If you encounter problems in the course, it's always good to search the course Discussion forum to see if someone else found the solution. That's how I found this post by Indiefire & using nvm to get node v8.9.0 worked for me: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:LinuxFoundationX+LFS171x+3T2017/discussion/forum/i4x-LinuxFoundationX-LFS171x-course-3T_2017/threads/5b472605c5264809bd00139c
I've got a bunch of other feedback I want to submit for Chapter 7 for the effort to improve the edX course material in the import-edx-content branch, so I'll suggest to add that info to the troubleshooting tips.
I had faced the same issue. Here is a utility application that does the same with ease. https://github.com/vishal3152/RegisterUser
