I have followed instruction here: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/master/docs/how-to-setup-freecodecamp-locally.md but after MANY issues that I managed to fix I still cannot get it to work. The server starts fine bu I get an error on the client as follows:

I cannot seem to get to the bottom of it.

Any ideas?

I’m not going to be that useful but just wanted to let you know that I just setup the docker build today and I didn’t have any issues but my computer already had a lot of the tools installed. Either google the specific issue you are having or go back to each step and make sure they work. I got a few of my commands stuck, I just had to terminate them and try them again.

It looks like the installation did not go through correctly. Looking at the logs, I think you should attempt installing the dependencies again. This can happen, due to network issues and/or sometimes on low-end hardware.

This does not look like a bug to me in the codebase itself, but we might have missed some edge case.

If you are on windows by any chance check this issue:

Unfortunately I tried installing the dependencies again, starting from fresh and doing the whole process again, and even following the thread you posted, but I get the same issues. I have given up on using Docker on Windows for it now.

I have moved to trying to do a local install in Linux instead. After all that is where I really would run it.

I am having a similar challenge trying to run freeCodeCamp on my Linux (Ubuntu) via docker. Curiously, it worked the first time I followed the steps, but subsequently, I kept getting the errors in the screenshots below:

I will really appreciate some help, please.
