Error when starting Node Application - MEAN Stack

Question

I have started to create a Node js application using MEAN Stack so i have followed the steps in the following URL to intialize a node js Application using MEAN. Link

When i provide GRUNT or Started the Node js Application in Terminal, I am getting the following error.

events.js:72
    throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
          ^
    Error: ENOENT, open '/home/vigneshmoha/Documents/node/branding/public/system/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
    [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

npm version 1.4.15

Node js version v0.10.28

MongoDB version v2.6.1

I haven't changed anything else. Am i missing anything?

Solution 1

I am not sure about this but try installing bower with the command..

npm install -g bower

and then sudo bower install --allow -root Now check if the files are created

Solution 2

try this

npm cache clean 
npm install

Solution 3

I just had the exact same problem (on Mac OS X 10.9). Running npm install without sudo fixed it. Seems like bower is causing some troubles when used with sudo.

Solution 4

This error might be also due to errors in your Nodejs application. Fix the errors. You might also need to install bower: npm install -g bower . tested on windows 10 and it worked.

path probably doesn't exist

Yea, path doesn't exist. There is no 'lib' folder inside the public->system folder. How do i resolve this with adding the folders and files manually? Anyway i am not going to using Bootstrap Library.

thanks, wierd that following the instructions as they have it doesn't work on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04, but after running these commands, and then passing ownership back to me, or the user that will be running the server, it works like a charm!
