Hi, I am experiencing some issues installing rocket.chat in Centos 7. Unfortunately my hosted server does not support docker or snap, so I need the bare installation. Everything seems to be ok as per [https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/centos/](https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/centos/) until I reach the step, here I have a warning rocket.chat Rocket.Chat Documentation - Deploying Rocket.Chat on Centos 7 Rocket.Chat user, admin, API, integration, plugin and contributing documentation. meteor-dev-bundle@~install: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) meteor-dev-bundle@ node npm-rebuild.js /opt/Rocket.Chat/programs/server if I ignore that and move on, later on step I get a root@vps2 [/opt/Rocket.Chat]# node main.js Meteor requires Node v8.0.0 or later. and doing a node --version I get v6.12.3 any suggestion on how to resolve it? ---

this was a path problem, now resolved - the version installed with ‘n’ wasn’t being used ---

/usr/local/bin/node main.js while this doesnt fully fix the problem when you create your systemd script as long as you put it like this: ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node /opt/rocket/Rocket.Chat/main.js you should be fine ---
