Error on npm start - Exit status 1

[nuander]

I downloaded angular-seed to my computer. Then opened the command prompt to the root folder. npm install worked ok. I was also able to get jasmine tests to work OK. But not protractor. when I type npm start I get this.

Did you install nodejs ? Try to clone the nodejs
$git clone "nodejs github repo"
$cd node
$./configure --prefix==/usr/lib
$make
$sudo make install

then try to start with
$node start

[nuander]

yes thanks
from my npm start...
2 info using npm@2.11.2
3 info using node@v0.12.6

In my own project I am able to run protractor (without karma) from the command line if I first start selenium using webdriver-manager start

hi, I fixed changing the port in the package,json file

orginal
"start": "http-server -a localhost -p 8000 -c-1",

fixed
"start": "http-server -a localhost -p 8080 -c-1",

if you have installed and running IIS or some automatic server that use the localhost port 8000 can block the node server.

[arthg]

Same issue here. Changing the port number does not help in my case. Any further suggestions?

[ioliveros]

It maybe because another app is using the same port or you prematurely stop the application, if your on a linux machine, verify if the port is running

lsof -i:port
port - port npm is running, depends on what is specified on package.json, usually 8000

check if the running application is npm, now try to terminate it by

kill -9 ps ax | grep <pid>
pid - process id of the application running on that port, after that

npm start

It should be working now.

gays,try these two commands:
npm install karma --save
npm install http-server -D
according to angular/angular-phonecat#303
this really solve my problem, hope it helps you.

[gkalpak]

All dependencies and tools have been updated recently and this is hopefully not an issue any more.
If anyone is still having problems, please open a new issue.

There are also some good suggestions above, that might help in certain cases (although this is a generic error and can be caused by several things).

[shirleyyu001]

I also encountered this problem, and my situation is that the port was occupied.
