Good morning, dear, however, it is not that I will be doing wrong, I follow the guide Step by step, but it falls when I command to install npm install -g genieacs
This is the guide you used https://github.com/genieacs/genieacs/wiki/Installation-Guide-Ubuntu-16.04 and
What’s the error message you’re getting?
@leonardopc1991 try
npm i genieacs --unsafe-perm -g
It is not a solution for me. I get a lot of warning when I install libxlmjs 0.18.8 (mainly similar to this: …/vendor/libxml/xmlschemas.c:24288:3: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args] value, length, type, facetLink->facet, NULL, NULL, NULL);
If I install the libxmljs without version (in this case the recent libxmljs - 0.19.5 - will be installed) I do not get warnings, but when I install the genieacs, I get a lot of errors (gyp ERR!, node-pre-gyp ERR!, npm ERR!).
If I install nodejs 8.x (=8.16.0) I get a lot of errors during installation of libxmlls 0.18.8, similar to genieacs installation in previous case.
If I install nodejs 8.x (=8.16.0) and libxmljs without version (=0.19.5) I get a lot of errors similar to in previous case.
I have not found so installation method for genieacs so far, which would be good for a clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04.6 .
It seems that the preferred way is now docker, at least on debian/Ubuntu. I got that reply to more or less the same question you guys have, and it makes sense as long as things are the way they are. I’ve successfully installed it this way, but it needs some tweaking. Unfortunately there’s no Centos version yet, but I’m working on that…
Instructions are here:
It does, however, mandate some knowledge of the concept of docker.
I will try to help you, there is how i installed genieacs 1.1.3 on ubuntu 18 mini
Dependency ( it’s also for GUI)
apt install git wget nodejs npm mongodb python libxml2-dev build-essential gnupg ruby-bundler ruby-dev libffi-dev libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev tmux -y
another dependency
npm i later
npm i seedrandom
npm i redis
npm i bindings
npm i nan
npm i node-pre-gyp
With this conf i can correctly install libxmljs
npm config set user 0
npm config set unsafe-perm true
npm i libxmljs
and then
npm i genieacs --unsafe-perm -g
Hi Josef,
Thank you for your help. Since then I succeeded in install GenieACS 1.1.3 . I had to install ruby-dev and libxml2-dev as well. Moreover I modified section of dependencies in file package.json: “libxmljs”: “^0.18.8” --> “libxmljs”: “^0.19.5” . After these I did not get any error or warning during installation
For anyone trying to install onto Ubuntu Sever 18.04 I have created a crude script that works for me, I had the script installing Webmin for me too, but have these commented out.
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

How are you?, this message error.
If you check it now, it supports CentOS on 1.1.3: https://github.com/DrumSergio/GenieACS-Docker
And also I have deployed successfully version 1.2.0-beta of GenieACS (via GitHub, not npm/yarn). It also supports Debian, CentOS and QNAP’s QTS (I have manually tested them). You can select which version to install on your server, both are available in the repository.
It also could support Ubuntu very easily, it’s just installing docker and docker-compose in your server, then just doing a docker-compose up -d would do!

Hi
Gittela told: “It seems that the preferred way is now docker…”. That is exactly what I’m trying to conclude today.
How did you get this conclusion?
I’m in a project that will use GenieACS and I have to install it on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. And I must document all the installation. My manager asked me to decide to install GenieACS with or without Docker. So, I have to figure out what is the best choice.
Can you point me some source of documentation/discussion/blog that discuss about installing GenieACS on Docker and why do it? If I could find some comparison about these 2 choices, it would be great.
Any hint will be very helpful!
Best regards.
I’m not really sure what’s the best way right now. The old version (not the latest which is in beta) is better under docker as it requires a lot of old stuff and it’s a pain to get it to install correctly. The new beta, however, installs like a charm with the given instructions. I’ve decided to go the traditional way for now as I’m not that good with docker, maybe some of the docker-geeks can weigh in on pros and cons(!).
Not sure if you got any wiser with this…
Hi. Thank you very much.
Today I’m studding how to run GenieACS into a docker container. For my project, using a container could facilitate the installation process of all our software, including GenieACS, in customer’s machines. So, I will try it too. In DockerHub there are 55 containers already built to run GenieACS. Maybe it will help me. I have selected four of it and now I’m analyzing it. Let’s see if I build my container with GenieACS on my own …
Best regards.
I did these steps after I installed Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS:
- sudo apt install curl
- curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
- sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
- wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc | sudo apt-key add -
- echo “deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] MongoDB Repositories xenial/mongodb-org/4.2 multiverse” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.2.list
- sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
To this point every thing is OK.
Then I tried to install GenieACS (according to this description: Installation Guide — GenieACS Documentation 1.2.9 documentation)
-
- sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm genieacs@1.2.0-beta.0
At this point at got a lots of warning anf error:

Hello,
I followed your procedure for setup genieacs and successfully done it without error.
In the devices option of genieacs there is no information displayed of the listed device. How can I show the information?
You’ve installed GenieACS 1.1.x by the looks of it. The current recommended version is 1.2.5. The installation and configuration is completely different - you must have followed old instructions. You might as well blow it away and start install of the new version from scratch.

Could you help me please by provided instructions on how to install the newest version of Genieacs following old instructions?
You need to follow this guide: Installation Guide — GenieACS Documentation 1.2.5 documentation
I already follow the doc for installing newest version of genieacs, but the issue I found in the newest version is when I apply commit for any changes, that changes doesn’t make for device. Like as reboot option.
But in the old version commit works perfectly for any changes.
In the new one I think it doesn’t commit the task if it can’t reach the device on the connection request port. Make sure the device has connection requests enabled so that GenieACS can notify the client that there is work it has to perform. If the client is separated from GenieACS by an IPv4 NAT so that GenieACS cannot contact the client directly you may have to set up XMPP, or use IPv6.
