Installing Swordfish Basic Web Client Ubuntu 20.4 Fails at "npm install" Step

[samuellay]

What versions of Ubuntu has the Swordfish-basic-web-client been tested on?
For that matter what is the preferred Linux distribution to run it on?

I am installing the basic web client on a Ubuntu 20.4 server.
node is v16.13.1
npm is 8.1.2
The pre-requisites were installed.
The "npm install" command failed. The log file is attached.
The first error is at line 6362 and is followed by many others.
Any tips?

Thanks, Sam

I attempted the installation on Ubuntu 18.4.
The versions were closer to those on the GitHyb page.
node: v8.17.0
npm: 6.13.4
Everything appeared to work well throughout the installation.
When I pointed my browser to http://localhost:3000, I get:

Cannot GET /

@samuellay - we don't have a list of supported distros; I will set up a container and take a look at install issues.

@rahlvers - Thanks for looking at this.

I started with the Ubuntu 20.04.5 appliance from https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxvmimages/files/VirtualBox/U/18.04/Ubuntu_18.04.5_VB.zip/download

Then installed curl, nodejs and npm

I downloaded the web client to /pycharm/redfish-swordfish and ran this script as root:

#! /usr/bin/env bash
date
npm install -g express
date
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
date
cd /opt/
unzip /pycharm/redfish-swordfish/Swordfish-basic-web-client-master.zip
cd /opt/Swordfish-basic-web-client-master/views/ && npm install
date
ng build
date
cd .. && npm install
date
npm start &
date

The console output of the installation is attached as make_swordfish-basic-web-client_out.zip.

Thanks again, Sam
