Gitbook install/init fails
jbaskeen opened this issue · comments
I'm trying to install and use gitbook-cli for the first time and am seeing an issue getting it running. I've seen #68 issue but the solutions in the issue don't appear to work for me. I'm not finding any node/npm compatibility details in the docs so I'm not sure if the latest node 8 is supported. However, I'm also seeing the issues with node 6.
Commands:
node -v
npm -v
rm -rf ~/.gitbook
npm i -g gitbook-cli
gitbook --version
gitbook init
Output:
node v8.7.0
npm 5.4.2
/usr/local/bin/gitbook -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli/bin/gitbook.js
+ gitbook-cli@2.3.2

@werne2j discovered that the following steps worked
npm install -g gitbook-cli@2.3.1
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli
rm -rf node_modules
sed -i '' "s^npmi@2.0.1^npmi@1.0.1^g" package.json
npm install
cd ~
gitbook fetch 3.2.2
cd ~/.gitbook/versions/3.2.2/
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
cd ~
mkdir test && cd test
gitbook init
Thanks this worked for me as I was also having an issue with file not found errors during the install of 3.2.2. However I did not need to rm -rf ~/.gitbook/versions/3.2.2/node_modules as it wasn't there.
@jbaskeen THANKS!
Doesn't work at all on Windows.
Is it possible it's failing cuz of nvm? I've tried everything, doesn't seem to be working

cd ~/.gitbook/version/3.2.3
npm install
it works
cd ~/.gitbook/version/3.2.3
I do confirm this works, but the path should be:
cd ~/.gitbook/versions/3.2.3
