  4. The manual installation guide fails to 'npm install' when it calls 'bower install'

The manual installation guide fails to 'npm install' when it calls 'bower install'

Added by Tomi Järvi over 9 years ago

Hi!

I followed the manual installation guide but it fails when I call ‘npm install’. It seems that fail happens when it calls “bower install —config.interactive=false”. Do you have any idea what might be the cause of this?

console information:

openproject@hidden:~/openproject-ce$ npm install
