DeanKamali

Hey everyone,

Fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, node installed via nvm ( node v8.11.3, npm 6.2.0)

Following full install instractions

npm install jsreport-cli -g
mkdir jsreportapp
cd jsreportapp
jsreport init
jsreport configure
jsreport start

However this as far as I can go : (

linux@ubuntu:~/jsreportapp$ jsreport init && jsreport configure && jsreport start
jsreport installation not found, installing jsreport latest version now, wait a moment...

jsreport installation finished..

Any ideas?

can you check what you have in folder /tmp/jsreport?
Don't you have there DIRECTORY tmp/jsreport/core/locations.json ?
Because the error looks like that.
Thank you

It could help to remove /tmp/jsreport and start jsreport again.

removing /tmp/jsreport and following the installation steps once more resolved the issue.

Thanks
