Question

I\'m trying to install habitrpg locally but I keep getting a mongoDB error after typing node src/seed.js:

Error: failed to connect to [localhost:270         


        

Answer 1

I got this issue because I didn't have MongoDB. SO Installed MongoDB and tried to run node application and it worked.

If you don't have MongoDB then follow below steps to install and enjoy

Commands :

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927

$ echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

then type mongo in terminal and if you will get console for mongo then its done.
