Can't get the export tool to run!

I also had to install the nodejs-legacy to get the package to install, else I was getting 'weird' errors

It looks like the legacy package node is too old. The server requires at least node 5.14.

Could you try installing the current one, and then starting the server with highcharts-export-server --enableServer 1 --logLevel 4 and see if you get any errors?

[gregbengis]

Nothing from that -
However if I run 'node' or 'node --version' it does the exact thing, so I guess the problem is with node itself.. I am not sure what the issue is.

agent@xxx:~$ sudo apt-get install node

node is already the newest version.

I'll see if I can find a solution

You may be installing the wrong package if you're on Ubuntu. There was already a node package in their repositories when node.js was released, so the package is named nodejs there.

Try sudo apt-get install nodejs, and remove the node package, and instead create a symlink like so sudo ln -s "$(which nodejs)" /usr/bin/node.

I wasn't able to install Node with apt-get, but I did download the binary from their website, and now Highcharts works! (At least, it runs, I haven't tried to generate any graphs yet)

Thanks for your help

That's great!
