Hi, I’m following the guide here fcc offline walkthrough to be able to work on freeCodeCamp offline because my internet is pretty unstable and tends to go down for large amounts of time.
But I’m running into some issues and was hoping I could get some help here.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
-First for steps 1 and 2 I got mongodb 4.2 and node js 13.14.0 I couldn’t get the latest for these because I’m running Windows 7.
-Step 3: I installed git through chocolatey successfully and then I ran git clone like so:
-Step 4: I run cp sample.env .env and npm ci:
-Step 5: I opened another admin powershell and ran mongod.exe from within it’s own directory because the command as was written in the guide gave a syntax error in powershell:
-Step 6: This is where the issues start.When I run npm run seed on the first terminal I get the following error:
So I searched online and found that a common solution is running
npm install mongod on the directory where you need it and decided to do just that:
And now I run
npm run seed again:
While it seems to have worked I don’t know if it was just a stop gap measure and actually left underlying issues there.
Step 7: This is where I’m stuck. I get the following error when I run npm run develop:
Please, any help on the topic would be greatly appreciated.
