./install.sh on Ubuntu 18.04

[kylechallis]

I realize that the install.sh script specifies that it's only been tested on Ubuntu 17.10, so if you don't have time to address this, I understand.

I was having issues using install.sh and/or npm install to get the project up and running on my Ubuntu 16.10 droplet, so I spun up a brand new 18.04 Digital Ocean droplet just to test out Swarm. Without doing anything else, I cloned the repo and executed install.sh. The issues I'm seeing are similar to those I was seeing on the 16.10 droplet.

Rather than risk incorrectly dissecting and interpreting any of it, I'll just share the entire output:

You can however run a command with sudo using "--allow-root" option

P.S. Thank you for your time :) Love the game, I've spent countless hours on it

Hey, sorry for lagging on this!

It's been a while since I've run the server; things are a little out of date. Just pushed a few updates that got things working again for me on my Ubuntu 19.10 machine. The problem above was that install.sh wasn't expecting to be run as root, but there were a few other things I ran into too. Let me know if this helps!

You might also be interested in running the upcoming the 1.2.0 beta version, https://gitlab.com/erosson/swarm-elm . It's a mostly-feature-complete rewrite that I hope will eventually replace what's on www.swarmsim.com .

Thank you!!

After trying to run the install command on a fresh Digital Ocean droplet of 19.10, I was still having one issue. But I seem to have figured it out, and it's working now.

I was getting this error when the script was trying to install compass:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing compass:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/ffi-1.12.2/ext/ffi_c

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

... (and then much later in the script output) ...

    Running "compass:dist" (compass) task
    Warning: not found: compass Use --force to continue.

    Aborted due to warnings.

Running apt-get install gcc make seemed to be the trick to allowing gem install compass to work properly. From there, I was able to re-run the install.sh script, cd into the swarm/ directory, and npm start to run the server!

Thank you again! Very excited to play around with this 😸
