I am trying to build zeppelin locally with windows and babun/cygwin. This site got me headed in the right direction, but I run into the following error when the build gets to Web Application:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:0.0.23:bower (bower install) on project zeppelin-web: Failed to run task: 'bower --allow-root install' failed. (error code 8) -> [Help 1]
I can go into the zeppelin-web directory and run bower install successfully, but I'm not sure where to go from here? If I try to do mvn install -DskipTests, it tries to run the bower command again.
If I try to "move on" and attempt to build under ../zeppelin-server it will say that it can't find the zeppelin-web dependency.
I think I would like to run bower install manually, as suggested by the site above, but I'm not sure where to go from there? Is it possible to pick up mvn where it left off? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I ran into the same problem. First try to go to the zeppeling-web component and run there mvn package -DskipTests. It should give you more details about what is failing:
cd zeppelin-web
mvn package -DskipTests
In my case it was a problem with git proxies, since I am working in a corporate environment. At the console, issuing the command:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
did the trick.
You have to run the build command with sudo
This worked for me: run the following as a non-root user, (replace <goals> with your -P and -D flags, or remove for standalone install):
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" mvn clean install <goals> -DskipTests
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" mvn clean install <goals> -DskipTests -rf :zeppelin-web
