MineMeld install error bower install

[SCHERRMANN]

Hi all,

I have installed successfully minemeld on a test Ubuntu 16.04.

I try to do the same now in production and get an error on bower install :

fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["bower", "install", "--allow-root"], "delta": "0:00:04.657525", "end": "2018-06-29 10:13:24.610040", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2018-06-29 10:13:19.952515", "stderr": "bower invalid-meta The \"name\" is recommended to be lowercase, can contain digits, dots, dashes\nbower angular-nvd3#~1.0.5      EINVRES Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/angular-nvd3 failed with 502", "stderr_lines": ["bower invalid-meta The \"name\" is recommended to be lowercase, can contain digits, dots, dashes", "bower angular-nvd3#~1.0.5      EINVRES Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/angular-nvd3 failed with 502"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

I try on 14.04 as well with the same error.

Did someone get this issue ?

Thanks.

Hi All,

I've found a solution :

https://bower.herokuapp.com is deprecated.

After this error I ran : /opt/minemeld/www/venv/bin/npm install -g bower

And run again the ansible playbook.

It's working now.

Hi @SCHERRMANN,

thanks! We are working to get rid of bower and switch to npm + webpack.

I have opened an issue on github to track the development:

https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/minemeld-webui/issues/117

EDIT

We have introduced a temporary workaround while we get rid of bower, MineMeld installation via Ansible should be working again.

I experienced this same error and performed the following per this thread:

ran : /opt/minemeld/www/venv/bin/npm install -g bower

And run again the ansible playbook.

Now I receive the following message when I run the ansible playbook:
