I\'ve done a CKAN development install and am running with debug = true in my development.ini file. On visiting localhost:5000 I get an error with a traceback whose end point is

Answer 1

I'm using an ubuntu 12.04 and experiencing some problems with this

Was getting this error after following Sean's answers and running

npm install less nodewatch

and got this error:

Found another thread that explains this and offers the solution to execute

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

However after running the above command I am getting this error:

Seems like the version are incompatible or could this be the problem with node and node.js?
