MineMeld Install on CentOS 7 with Ansible: NPM Issue

[phorbalrrd]

Hi All, 

Install of MM on CentOS 7 (via Ansible playbook) is failing during the step "minemeld : npm install" with a an error around the node-sass package. the verbose outbout from npm-debug.log is below. I've tried a few different things including installing this with Node versions 6, 7, and 8 and can never seen to get this step to work. 

Thoughts?

Sure:

- the ansible playbook was installing an old version of node (0.12.2), different from the release we use for building MM (4.2.6)

- a recent update in one of the packages used for building the frontend UI broke the compatibility with that old version

- the fix has been updating the playbook to make it consistent with our building infrastructure

Hi @phorbalrrd,

just two additional notes:

- I have just pushed an additional commit to the playbook to improve the shutdown behavior of systemd. See here:

https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/minemeld-ansible/blob/master/roles/minemeld/templates/minemeld.c...

- make sure RabbitMQ is running ok, I have seen some weird issues of RabbitMQ on Centos 7 and RHEL 7 and I still have to isolate the problem.

Thanks again,

luigi

This is still an applicable fix for issues with NPM install using Ansible on CentOS 7. I ran the rm command for the first install and re-ran the playbook for a successful install.

Thanks
