Fail to run npm start

[yinglinchen-minted]

Hi,

I was trying to run npm start after I didn't npm install under examples directory. But I got errors. Here is the npm_error.log. Please help me to figure it out. Thanks!

Hi. You need to run npm install on the main directory as well. examples package.json only has the additional dependencies. I would correct the instruction. so it would be like,

npm install
cd examples
npm install
npm start

Hi, I followed your instruction. But I still get same errors. Before I do npm install,I did rm -rf node_modules.

I just tried, and it worked though.

git clone https://github.com/prometheusresearch/react-forms.git 
cd react-forms
npm i 
cd examples  
npm i
npm start

I am not sure whether anything to do with your node version as it looks quite old. Mine is

node --version                                                                                               ⏎ develop ◼
v6.3.1
npm --version                                                                                                  develop ◼
3.10.3

also what is the message on the terminal?

[yinglinchen-minted]

yeah, my node version is pretty old. That probably cause the problem.

[yinglinchen-minted]

node --version v0.12.4 npm --version 2.10.1

I have other programs depending on the nodes version. So I probably will not update the node version.

[bsr203]

Since you use, nvm, you could test it seperately though. But, I am not sure which dependency is not compatible with your node version.
