Getting "Error: not found: make" when trying to update the Web UI

Web-UI
1

I’m trying to update the Web UI and most things I’m doing are getting the same error, “Error: not found: make”. I tried googling and found this thread but the user didn’t say what the fix was and linked to a dead site.

Here’s what happens when I try to do npm install --unsafe-perm

# npm install --unsafe-perm

> posix@4.2.0 install /usr/games/minecraft/node_modules/posix
> node-gyp rebuild

I’m running MineOS in a Docker container on Unraid OS.

I’m not familiar with Unraid OS, but I assume it’s just running a container based on the original dockerfile. (correct me if unraid uses any different dockerfile than my official one). I do know that there are many nodejs modules that need to be compiled natively for your system.

In most circumstances, this is apt-get install build-essential or yum install gcc-g++ or something to that effect. These packages include the binary make which is at the crux of your error.

My dockerfile does not include build-essentials because it was my understanding that docker containers would be rebuilt, rather than entered and edited.

No worries, though, it’s possible to do things how you are:

Basically, while inside the container:

# apt-get install -y build-essential
# npm install --unsafe-perm

apt-get install -y build-essential wasn’t working until I did apt-get update (just in case for anyone else reading this and has the same issue).

But that did work! Thank you!
