Leaving this here in case it helps someone else. Going back to v10, everything installed properly. But the latest nod.js apparently doesn't.
It says node.js 10 LTS or higher should work. This will allow, for example, replacing the database. The problem was node.js and the github instructions apparently. Being a JavaScript application, the Screeps server organically fits into the npm packets ecosystem, but the current game server architecture (which was initially developed as a set of layers with loose coupling) should be divided into multiple modules to publish them in the npm separately. If he gives up, I probably will too, as I only got this game under the premise we could practice and learn on his server box before eventually going to an official server. But has anyone installed a server recently using a guide that for sure works, on Windows 10? Friendo is getting frustrated and likely to give up. I realize this probably isn't enough information to diagnose the problem, so I'm not asking for that.
#Screeps server install
Npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.Įdit: This specific error was from him starting the install from the wrong directory, but since then it's now throwing other errors Npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\package.json'
None of these seem to work and errored out on install, spitting errors like So far he's been unsuccessful, and he's tried multiple guides. Steam version of the server worked, but doesn't let him connect due to Steam thinking it's running a game (why the "server" is Steam locked is beyond me when free stand alones exist - asking people to buy another copy just to run their own server is dumb). A friend and I were wanting to learn the game, and we wanted a private server to learn on (friendo has a spare Win10 machine to run it on).
