Installing Meteor - Couldn't write the launcher script - frameworks

I am front-end developer attempting to crossover into the world of web app development. I've come a long way in learning Javascript, and now I'm looking to toy around with frameworks.
I still have a bit to learn about using the OSX terminal, but I was hoping somebody could help me with this first stumble I'm having....
I try to install meteor using:
$ curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
Then I get the following:
Meteor 0.6.4 has been installed in your home directory (~/.meteor).
Writing a launcher script to /usr/local/bin/meteor for your convenience.
This may prompt for your password.
cp: /usr/local/bin/meteor: No such file or directory
Couldn't write the launcher script. Please either:
(1) Run the following as root:
cp ~/.meteor/tools/latest/launch-meteor /usr/bin/meteor
(2) Add ~/.meteor to your path, or
(3) Rerun this command to try again.
Then to get started, take a look at 'meteor --help' or see the docs at
docs.meteor.com.

If it's still helpful to anyone, going into /usr/local/bin, running "sudo rm meteor" then running the install gets it to work for me

Yeah try one of the three suggestions or:
sudo curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh

I had the same problem heres how I fixed it!
Delete all meteor folders
In finder (cmd +shft+g)
type in "~/.meteor"
on the top of the finder window where is has the folder.meteor click and drag folder to trash
In finder (cmd +shft+g) type in "/usr/bin/meteor" then drag the meteor folder to trash
3.In /usr/ create a new folder "local" (password required) and inside "local" create a folder "bin"
Go back to terminal a run curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh

.sh script that executes command as "real" root

I want to write a .sh-script that sends a message to my ejabberd-account. (the script is "called" by the apache2 standard-user "www-data").
The script should execute the following command: ejabberdctl send_message chat admin#my-domain user#my-domain "title" "my message"
However, I can't run any ejabberdctl command without "being" root. So sudo ejabberdctl is not working (in terminal or any .sh-script). I can only do sudo -s followed by ejabberdctl my-command, which doesn't work in .sh-scripts (or am I wrong?).
(I've installed ejabberd 20.07 on ubuntu 20.04 with the help of this tutorial: Install Ejabberd...)
Is there a way to run a command in a .sh-script as "real root" or to create a root-session and run the command there (like I do manually with sudo -s ...)?
Is there any solution to my problem or should I install ejabberd the "normal way"?
When ejabberd is compiled and installed from source code, it's possible to prepare it with something like
./configure -–enable-group=ejagroup
Then, you can simply create the system group ejagroup, and add the www-data user to that ejagroup.
See https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/installation/#options
In your case, that you use the Debian package from ProcessOne, I see the tutorial mentions that you create a system account called ejabberd. Maybe you can run ejabberdctl from that account, no need to be root?
I still don't know why I can only run ejabberdctl when I'm "logged-in" as root (sudo ejabberdctl is still not working)
Is my .bashrc file wrong? (last line: PATH=$PATH:/opt/ejabberd-20.07/bin/)
Anyway, at least I can run sudo /opt/ejabberd-20.07/bin/ejabberdctl my_command with any user, like they did here: Ejabberd sbin/ejabberdctl start (No such file or directory)
Has someone else experienced this weird behavior with sudo: any_command: not found ?
Let me know if you have a more "elegant" solution to my problem.

Install4j doesn't write into the java preferences store

I have two installer i1.sh & i2.sh and both have respectively i1.varfile & i2.varfile where they customize the installation directory.
First, we launch the i1.sh as this:
[localhost]$ sudo ./i1.sh -q
The i2.sh is launched by the i1.sh via the action Run executable or batch file.
The problem is that in the file sudo vi /root/.java/.userPrefs/com/install4j/installations/prefs.xml an entry exists only for the i1 but never for the i2.
[Edit]
After watching this file with the command:
watch "sudo cat /root/.java/.userPrefs/com/install4j/installations/prefs.xml"
We noticed that the entries for i2 are added and directly overwritten by those of the i1.
Any ideas plz?
Thanks
The solution is to run a script after the launching of the second installer to synchronize the prefs.xml
Run script Action:
java.util.prefs.Preferences.userRoot().sync();
java.util.prefs.Preferences.systemRoot().sync();
return true;
Special thanks to the install4j support team

Sublime Text CoffeeScript build system: `env: node: No such file or directory`

I'm trying to set up a CoffeeScript build system in Sublime Text 3, but I keep getting the following error:
env: node: No such file or directory
[Finished in 0.0s with exit code 127]
[cmd: ['coffee', '-o','/Users/jcourtdemone/Sites/autotempest.com/new_design_sandbox/static/script', '-cw', '/Users/jcourtdemone/Sites/autotempest.com/new_design_sandbox/static/coffee']]
[dir: /Users/jcourtdemone/Sites/autotempest.com/new_design_sandbox/static/coffee]
[path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]
My build system looks like this:
{
"name": "Coffee - AT",
"cmd": ["coffee","-o","${project_path:${folder}}/static/script","-cw","${project_path:${folder}}/static/coffee"],
"selector": "source.coffee",
"path":"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin"
}
Two things strange about this.
1) It says it's looking in /usr/bin where a symlink to coffee exists.
2) Because of (1), I overrode $PATH to include the actual location of coffee which is /usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin, but for some reason, $PATH isn't being overridden properly, it's sticking with the default $PATH.
Things to note:
i) I've verified that all paths are correct and pass normally through a regular terminal command.
ii) Tried with a "shell": true variable in the build system.
iii) I have another build system for Compass like this that works fine.
Anyone run into similar problems or issues? Any ideas?
In Terminal, type which node, then create a symlink to that location in /usr/bin. For example, if node lives in /usr/local/bin, create the symlink like so:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
If you look at the source of your coffee script, you'll probably find that the first line is something along the lines of:
#!/usr/bin/env node
Exit code 127 in Sublime means that an env command has failed - so in your case, the build system is finding coffee, but it can't execute it because the node binary isn't in Sublime's default search path.
There are two ways to redefine the default search path for Sublime. The first (and easiest) is to always open it from the command line using the built-in subl command. If you're an OS X power user and don't mind messing with important system settings, check out my post on unix.SE on how to alter the default /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin path that you're seeing. Be forewarned that if you don't do things correctly, you may break your system. However, if you're running Mountain Lion (10.8.X) and you follow the instructions exactly, everything should be fine. (I haven't upgraded to Mavericks, so no guarantees on whether it'll work with that version.)
How to solve the problem under an Ubuntu System
The fact is "coffee" command will call /usr/bin/node to continue its work, however, the original "node" command for the node application on an Ubuntu system is changed from "node" to "nodejs" to avoid name conflicting. That is the reason, the shell will compliant you "/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory". whenever you type
$ coffee
To solve the bug, just let the shell find something named "node" in its default searching path, and this so-called "node" will promote nodejs. The command "nodejs" lies under path of /usr/bin/nodejs.
We will use symbol link to link "node" with nodejs, and place the link "node" within the default searching path, so that the shell will find it.
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
But beware, make sure that you do NOT have another "node" command under /usr/bin/, you can check it by try to run
$ which node
I do NOT know what to do if you have installed another "node" application.
In Ubuntu you can install the package nodejs-legacy
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
this package just create a symbolic link to binary nodejs
You should be able to fix this all in your build system without needing to add a symlink on your machine.
For example if node lives in /usr/local/bin/node all you have to do is change the path in your build_system to be:
"path": "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
I had the same problem with Sublime Text 2.
Creating this sublime build worked for me:
{
"cmd": ["coffee", "-c", "$file"],
"selector" : "source.coffee",
"path" : "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin/:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
}
The following code worked for me in Ubuntu 14.04:
**$ sudo apt-get install NodeJS-legacy**
The other problem was the version checking frameworks such as for e.g: gulp -v the same code also solved this problem.
Type the next in the console:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

is there a way to create shortcuts for a list of windows commands?

Not very sure if this is the right way of asking, but I was wondering if it is at all possible to "bunch/combine" these commands:
cd %webapps%
cls
mvn clean install
copy etc\environment\dev\yao\env.conf.bat webapps-dist\target\classes
yes
cd %jboss%
run.bat -c server -b 0.0.0.0
shutdown.bat -S
into ONE command like: %runserver% or something like that?
Also, is there a way to get rid of the prompt when I try to copy a file?
I literally do this every time I reinstall my apps, so a shortcut would be amazing.
I already just copy and paste these commands, but I'm lazy so I want shorter commands.
If you are running these commands from the same location, you can make a batch file and just run the batch file.

Unable to run PostgreSQL as Windows service

I had this in my Windows services:
C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_ctl.exe runservice -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w
It never finishes executing. But if I did this on the dos shell:
C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_ctl.exe start -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w
Notice that I only changed the "runservice" to "start" and it works just fine.
Any idea?
The command runservice can only be executed by the service manager
in order to fix my localhost windows 7 to start postgres as a service
i used the following command to start the data
pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" start
Then checked the status for errors
pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" status
if you get error 1063 , its more than likely permissions, i executed the following command
cacls "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" /E /T /C /G postgres:F
then reran the start/status, it showed everything fine, but still service manager would not start the service
So, in Services->postgresql->options->logon i set the log on as the Local system account instead of the postgres user, and voila it worked
this happened to me because i set my data directory to be somewhere the postgres windows user account didn't have access to.
I had this problem in Windows after a system crash. Running the first command showed invalid data in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data\postmaster.pid. Deleting that file did the trick. Reference.
I faced the same issue after moving manually the database data files (PG_DATA directory) without recreating all the necessary permissions.
Here is how I solved my issue:
1. Check permissions on old PG_DATA directory:
cacls "c:\path\to\old\pgdata\dir"
2. Check permissions on new PG_DATA directory:
cacls "d:\path\to\NEW\pgdata\dir"
3. Compare outputs from 1. and 2.
Find the differences between users and/or permissions then synchronize them.
Nota: I found it easier to use explorer for the synchronization step rather than using cacls directly from the command line.
If you changed pg_hba.conf , maybe you missed somewhere in file. For example there must be CIDR after IP in that file. It must be like 192.168.1.100/32
If you forgot to put 32, then server doesnt restart.
Investigation of startup logs could be a clue. For the case problem is in the pg_hba.conf you could see something like this:
2018-11-13 00:39:34.841 PST [8284] FATAL: could not load pg_hba.conf
2018-11-13 00:39:34.842 PST [8284] LOG: database system is shut down
You need to check your logfiles and the windows eventlog for some hint of what the problem is. If there is nothing at all there, you need to break out something like Process Monitor and get a stacktrace of where it's hung.
I have had this issue in the past, and it was that the installer did not set up the permissions correctly for the user that the service was to run as.
I've also ran into this problem with postgresql throwing and error after trying to initialize the database cluster. After analyzing the log files and running command line scripts for 4 hours I've got the solution to anyone running into this problem for Windows Versions.
This is not a detailed description as to why its happening. I've installed odoo 10, 11, 12 and 13 numerous times on countless client servers and windows systems and this is the first time I've ever ran into this problem. I cant say if its because I have MS VS Enterprise installed and Android Studio on this machine or what. But Below is the easy answer on how to fix it and initialize the cluster and create the database files in the data folder.
Open the data folder for postgresql. - For Odoo installs it will normally be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL" Unless you chose another location when installing.
Remove any or all files from this folder - If not you will get an error when running initdb.exe
Right click the data folder and open up the properties for it. Click on the Security tab and then click the advanced button on the bottom.
You need to change the owner of this folder to openpgsvc. Click Change and type in openpgsvc and click ok. Once done click the check box below saying that you want this change to affect containers with this container as well.
Then on the Permissions tab click the add button on the bottom. You need to add openpgsvc as a user and give this user full rights. Click apply and and ok to close out of all the folder properties.
Now you need to open cmd.exe - Once open we are going to call initdb.exe and pass some values to it as well.
First run chdir and change the working directory to the location of initdb.exe. For me, running odoo 13 on a windows 10 machine the location is this..
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\bin"
There is one variable that need to be passed as well to make this work here is the list. NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CALL TO initdb.exe
Postgres Data Dir: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\data"
The End Result with the parameter would look like this for my installation:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\bin\initdb.exe" -D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\data"
Hit Enter and let it rip. The output of this command should look like this below.
Cmd.exe running initdb.exe script
Make sure there is no buggy empty file Program at C:\ like C:\Program
In this case, explorer will warn whenever you log on into Windows.
File Name Warning
-----------------
There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which
could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it
to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename
it now?
Installing PostgreSQL 10 On Windows 7 (yes the clock is ticking...). I first tried the latest version 11 which completely failed to install... not a good sign for Windows users. Anyway.
Quick answer: Change the account in the Windows Services panel from Network to Local.
Details of my case
During installation I created/selected a data folder in the user profile folder, because obviously the folder suggested by default, within the program folder, wouldn't work, and if it worked it would be a very idea to put data here (I don't know whether it's usual to do that on Unix/Linux, but for Windows it's it's not allowed for a long time).
At the end (when populating the data cluster) I received an error:
Failed to load SQL Modules into database Cluster
but the installation was able to complete. I found two pages about previous error, here and here, but they didn't seem relevant to my case, so I just started pgAdmin and, on the left "browser", saw the server wasn't active.
I tried to start it from here (had to type the main password), but it went inactive immediately again. So I tried to use the Windows services panel to start "postgresql-x64-10", no joy. I copied the command from this panel and pasted it into a Windows console (cmd.exe) where I finally received this
error 1063.
Searching I found this related question, and was convinced the problem was about permissions.
Solution working for my case
In the services panel I changed the account used to start the service from Network Service to Local System as suggested in a comment by #AlexanderRios.
sc create "postgresql-9.2" binPath= "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_ctl.exe\" runservice -N \"postgresql-9.2\" -D \"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.2/data\" -w" DisplayName= "postgresql-9.2" start= auto
Try this on CMD run as Administrator
(Add your parameters depend on your version)
Stop all postgres processes
Go to the postgres data folder (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data)
Delete the postmaster.opts and postmaster.pid files
From the control panel, in administrative
tools and the services console start the postgres service
open pgAdmin III and then in right pane find server then just right click and connect, enter the password. after connected go to the browser and refresh ODOO. Problem solved.
