Hi Community, I am exeriencing some problems following the good documentation how to install rocket chat on a fresh Centos 7.6 First I tried it on 8.1 with the same erros. all is running smooth till the rocket chat install itself: cd /tmp/bundle/programs/server && npm install [root@rocketchat server]# npm install npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see [https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142](https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142) > fibers@4.0.3 install /opt/rocket/Rocket.Chat/programs/server/node\_modules/fibers > node build.js || nodejs build.js `linux-x64-72-glibc` exists; testing Problem with the binary; manual build incoming gyp WARN EACCES current user (“chef”) does not have permission to access the dev dir “/root/.cache/node-gyp/12.16.2” gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir “/opt/rocket/Rocket.Chat/programs/server/node\_modules/fibers/.node-gyp” gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir ‘/opt/rocket/Rocket.Chat/programs/server/node\_modules/fibers/.node-gyp’ gyp ERR!

I would also change the os if centos is not a good start for rocket chat. regarding to the documentation of the deprecated command, there are a lot of discussions about it and they decided the best thing is to do is switch it off. But I did not found a fix and I did not found other people having these issues with rocket chat. Any help appreciated. Greetings /WK ---

Hi community, I need to add that my original problem was not a rocket chat problem, it was a sudo problem during the installation scripts. It looks like a real root session is getting to a different problem which seems only like a warning and not a warning: [root@rocketchat ~]# tar -xzf /tmp/rocket.chat.tgz -C /tmp [root@rocketchat ~]# cd /tmp/bundle/programs/server && npm install npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see [https://git](https://git)[hub.com/request/request/issues/3142](http://hub.com/request/request/issues/3142) > fibers@4.0.3 install /tmp/bundle/programs/server/node\_modules/fibers > node build.js || nodejs build.js `linux-x64-72-glibc` exists; testing Problem with the binary; manual build incoming make: Entering directory `/tmp/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/build' CXX(target) Release/obj.target/fibers/src/fibers.o CXX(target) Release/obj.target/fibers/src/coroutine.o CC(target) Release/obj.target/fibers/src/libcoro/coro.o SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/obj.target/fibers.node COPY Release/fibers.node make: Leaving directory `/tmp/bundle/programs/server/node\_modules/fibers/build’ Installed in `/tmp/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/bin/linux-x64-72-g libc/fibers.node` npm WARN lifecycle meteor-dev-bundle@~install: cannot run in wd meteor-dev-bundl e@ node npm-rebuild.js (wd=/tmp/bundle/programs/server) added 146 packages from 122 contributors and audited 305 packages in 9.632s 1 package is looking for funding run `npm fund` for details found 1 moderate severity vulnerability run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details [root@rocketchat server]# npm audit fix updated 1 package in 1.304s 1 package is looking for funding run `npm fund` for details fixed 1 of 1 vulnerability in 305 scanned packages [root@rocketchat server]# cd /tmp/bundle/programs/server && npm install npm WARN lifecycle meteor-dev-bundle@~install: cannot run in wd meteor-dev-bundle@ node npm-rebuild.js (wd=/tmp/bundle/programs/server) audited 305 packages in 1.552s 1 package is looking for funding run `npm fund` for details found 0 vulnerabilities I am not quite sure if I need to fix the npm fund message Greetings WK ---

wanted to add the the server with 7.6 is up and running. no Problem here. Tried my first setup again with Centos 8.1, also working like a charm. last Problem seems to be the android app, because the ssl ciphers are too old. IOS and Web Browser is working. Greetings WK ---
