HI @aldoori,

Can you try:

$ rm -rf node_modules && npm install

If you run into permissions erros try this instead:

$ sudo rm -rf node_modules && sudo npm install

Let us know how it goes.

Yoel

I am getting the same type of errors as @aldoori. I tried the suggested remove/reinstall. I am still getting the same errors when trying to launch the matrix-os. Many error and warning message occur when installing.

Please do not sudo npm install or sudo npm upgrade anything. This makes all the modules you install have superuser permissions and will generate non-standard behavior.

The way to solve the original issue was to chmod 777 db/* from the matrix-os directory, I believe. It shouldn’t have been an issue though.
