Problems with Meteor deployment related to fibers module

Question

While trying to deploy meteor, I install node fiber by:

$ cd bundle/server

and then installing fiber

$ npm install fibers


        

Answer 1

Here is what I did:

sudo npm install -g nvm

npm WARN deprecated nvm@0.0.3: This is NOT the correct nvm. Visit http://nvm.sh and use the curl command to install it.

Then I put nvm on with this:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash

npm gave a warning like this:

=> You currently have modules installed globally with `npm`. These will no
=> longer be linked to the active version of Node when you install a new node
=> with `nvm`; and they may (depending on how you construct your `$PATH`)
=> override the binaries of modules installed with `nvm`:

/usr/local/lib
├── bitcoinjs-lib@2.1.4
├── bower@1.6.5
├── cordova@5.4.1
├── ember-cli@1.13.8
├── fibers@1.0.8
├── grunt-cli@0.1.13
├── gulp@3.9.0
├── ionic@1.7.12
├── ios-deploy@1.8.2
├── ios-sim@5.0.3
├── lite-server@1.3.2
└── nvm@0.0.3

=> If you wish to uninstall them at a later point (or re-install them under your
=> `nvm` Nodes), you can remove them from the system Node as follows:

     $ nvm use system
     $ npm uninstall -g a_module

So I did nvm use system. Now using system version of node: v4.2.4 (npm v2.14.12)

went and uninstalled everything:

sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g bower
unbuild bower@1.6.5
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g cordova
unbuild cordova@5.4.1
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g ember-cli
unbuild ember-cli@1.13.8
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g fibers
unbuild fibers@1.0.8
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g grunt-cli
unbuild grunt-cli@0.1.13
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g gulp
unbuild gulp@3.9.0
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g ionic
unbuild ionic@1.7.12
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g ios-deploy
unbuild ios-deploy@1.8.2
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g ios-sim
unbuild ios-sim@5.0.3
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g lite-server
unbuild lite-server@1.3.2
sh-3.2# npm uninstall -g nvm
unbuild nvm@0.0.3
sh-3.2#

Downgraded to node 0.10.36:

nvm install 0.10.36

Now maybe I can run it. So I delete the whole app folder and re-create with this:

hotel:Sites tom$ meteor create --example localmarket
Created a new Meteor app in 'localmarket'.

To run your new app:

cd localmarket
meteor

If you are new to Meteor, try some of the learning resources here: https://www.meteor.com/learn

hotel:Sites tom$ cd localmarket/
hotel:localmarket tom$ meteor

ah dang ok that didn't work.

Answer 2

There are some version issues. It's worked for me:

cd bundle/server
npm uninstall fibers
npm install fibers@1.0.0 

Answer 3

You need to uninstall fibers first to remove the binary that's not compatible with your server's platform.

cd bundle/server
npm uninstall fibers 
npm install fibers

You only need to do this if your server is using a different platform, i.e if your development pc is not ubuntu.

Answer 4

Node version is v0.11.3 NPM version is 1.2.18

Meteor 1.3.3 and before only uses up to Node v0.10.4x.

Use nvm to run specific node versions.
