Hi All, Going mad with this issue and don't seem to be able to move forward.

Fresh install of Ubuntu Server 16.04, static IP address configured. Updated and upgraded via CLI.
Followed steps on: https://devhub.io/repos/Matterwiki-Matterwiki

cd'd into directory /home/administrator/matterwiki where the clone is located and ran sudo np install which results in the below error:

administrator@rsa-srv-029:~/matterwiki$ sudo npm install

[email protected] install /home/administrator/matterwiki/node_modules/sqlite3
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Under pressure to get this working so any help is much appreciated.

I think the problem is because of your server don't have sqlite3
you can
apt-get install sqlite3
first

try ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs `/usr/bin/node
then npm install again.

I have also encountered something with sqlite3:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v64 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)
node-pre-gyp http 403 status code downloading tarball https://mapbox-node-binary.s3.amazonaws.com/sqlite3/v3.1.4/node-v64-win32-x64.tar.gz

It seems that the old version is no longer there.
So I tried npm uninstall sqlite3 and then npm install sqlite3 to update sqlite3, and it works.
Or you could try my fork, which fixes it and has some improvements. 🙂
