Check your ENV vars. For example:

# RocketChat
### export TOOL_NODE_FLAGS="--max_old_space_size=4096"
### export NODE_ENV=production
### export NODE_VERSION=default
export ROOT_URL=https://yourdomain.tld
export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/rocketchat?replicaSet=rs01
export MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/local?replicaSet=rs01
### export PORT="3000"
### PORT can also changed in package.json:  "start": "meteor npm i && meteor --port 3000"

problem solved by this solution .

npm scripts won’t run with root privileges unless you set the unsafe-perm flag: npm install --unsafe-perm . Maybe that’s why npm cannot run in “wd” (which, I assume, is the working directory).

@alirezaimi Thank’s for your feedback. Just out of interest: why does your server has to run with root privileges? For security reasons, I would personally bypass such a setup whenever possible.
