Hello guys,

Can anyone help me?

Run this command after step #5 and before step #6: npm install -g node-gyp node-pre-gyp

 

[cwi]

that's it, thanks

I'm running into pretty much the same issue, trying to set this up in a new jail on FreeNAS, v11.1-U2. I tried issuing the command: npm install -g node-gyp node-pre-gyp

between steps 5 and 6, and while that command itself ran ok -- it didn't fix my error in step 6.

Did something change again with versions and a new command is needed?

Step #1 has you create a warden-managed jail, but the templates have not been updated & some packages such as node & npm do not longer work.

The instructions in the first post should work fine using iocage-managed jails. Unfortunately, these are not fully supported by the FreeNAS UI yet, but you can search the forum or the documentation on how to create one of these.
