Local Install Fails

[jpke]

The last step in the installation sequence:

node keystone

results in Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'.

Attempting to start with node keystone.js or npm start produces same error. Page fails to load on localhost:3000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Full stack trace:

+1 same issue here

[charles-philippe]

Find [YOUR_PROJECT]/node_modules\bson\ext\index.js

and change path on 10th line

bson = require('../build/Release/bson'); to bson = require('bson');

takes care of the error but keystone wouldn't init...

You manage to fix?

Having same problem.

All the steps for installing MongoDB aren't there - you'll need to drop this into your terminal:

mkdir -p /data/db

and then set permissions:

sudo chmod 0755 /data/db
sudo chown $USER /data/db

Then you can navigate back into your project folder and run:
mongod
because keystone expects to find mongoDB running on localhost in order to initialise (according to getting started docs). Open a new terminal window and 'node keystone' will work.

The documentation needs updating (which they say they're in the middle of doing here: http://keystonejs.com/docs/getting-started/). I might submit a pull request to update the documentation on this repository if no one has any corrections to my suggestions above?

$npm audit fix
or
$npm audit fix --force
fixed the bson problem for me
