X-Press Publishing - Question Regarding Installing Express

Get Help Express.js
#1

Hello!

Working on the BUILDING A PERSISTENT API # X-Press Publishing-project in the Web Development Path.

I’ve extracted this project and yarn install:ed everything. However now when I try to “yarn add express”, body-parser, cors, etc it doesn’t work. This makes it so that I can’t start this project.

I don’t know how to go back to NPM, so generally I’ve just been using Yarn and it has worked out all right. I don’t know if this is an NPM/Yarn issue?

If anyone could help out here that would be greatly appreciated.

Kindly,
Dawid

This is what it says when I do “yarn add express”:

@dawiddahl3494864223, I have the same error. Were you able to resolve? I’ve tried updating dependencies, updating gRPC, re-running the install, tried installing just from source and for the life of me, I can’t figure this out.

#4

I managed to kinda make it work, the terminal will still have some warnings and I am using npm, but after i downloanded and installed the python 2.7.15(at the default path) and sqlite3 from the GitHub’s master branch: npm install https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/tarball/master, I had no more errors.

I hope this helps, and be sure the python path is the required one(it will show it in the error).

#5

Yes, I’m happy to say I found the solution and am using NPM again. So happy!

First I reinstalled Node. Then when that didn’t work, I did this:

“Restore ownership of the user’s npm related folders, to the current user, like this:

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config”

I hope it will work for you, too!

Sadly, it did not. Thank you for sharing though! I thought we had the same error, it appeared that way at first. But, I’ve been digging into my log and noticed a few other issues too. Like somehow xcode was missing from my machine. I just installed it in Aug when I picked dev training back up…so I’m puzzled by that one.

I think I will try loading up an older version of node and see if that helps. I came across a forum that said the version of sqlite3 we’re to use doesn’t support v10.xx of Node. Here’s the article for reference: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/issues/918

#7

To circle back here, I had some permission issues from when I first installed node (pre codecademy and was instructed to use sudo - gasp, I know!), but they were uncovered when I tried to rollback to node v9. I reinstalled Node via Homebrew to correct permissions and also cleaned up my files. Rolled back to node 9 successfully and then ran npm install for the project and all is well. Just wanted to post the solution to resolve in case there are others in a similar situation.

Awesome! Glad to hear you managed to figure it out as well!

#9

try this :wink:

#10
  • From a bash CLI, type npm outdated to identify deprecated packages.
  • Type npx npm-check-updates -u to list and install latest releases.
  • Then, type npm install to complete the install and update the package.json file.

Really wish I knew about this when I started the project.

This worked for me, better upgrade than downgrade, thank you for sharing! :slightly_smiling_face:
