I'm trying to get my local Sails app running live on my Webfaction server. I'm using a custom app rather than having selected a node app, because this way I can define the file structure. So far, so good... the app is running and the database works, and all the modules work except for Graphics Magick. Graphics Magick as a node module ('gm') seems to depend on a separate, deeper installation of Graphics Magick on the system. I'm trying to do this in HOME/src, the same as I (successfully) did to install Node. I downloaded the tar.gz, unzipped it, ran the 'make' command successfully... but when I do 'make install' it says I don't have permission. I don't know what to do about this. This is the command line output (with personal information replaced):
So what does it take to get GraphicsMagick fully installed on my system, so that nodejs can use it? asked 03 Feb '18, 15:48 pattmayne |
Most binary distributions include a way to specify the path so you can build within user-space. We have documentation which covers how to do this for most things. If you are using make and make install you should be able to do this with the following flag,
