npm run dev Issue

System: plain Virtual Box Ubuntu installation. With Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Shure I’ve installed all necessary packages (newest release): git, pip, npm, virtualenv, node.js

After that I’ve followed @larrysalibra instructions:

apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev rng-tools libgmp3-dev

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 blockstack

source blockstack/bin/activate

pip install git+https://github.com/blockstack/virtualchain.git@rc-0.14.1 git+https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-profiles-py.git@rc-0.14.1 git+https://github.com/blockstack/dns-zone-file-py.git@rc-0.14.1 

pip install git+https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-core.git@089d436caea79919296fbc05d6d46e5e52b57d6c

That worked fine and after thatblockstack setup and blockstack api start also worked fine. And localhost showed some Infos and no Error. So Step 1 was completed.

After that:

(blockstack) test@test-VirtualBox:~/blockstack-browser$ npm install

worked fine. After that:

(blockstack) test@test-VirtualBox:~/blockstack-browser$ npm run dev

but this step crashes and i get the error Code:

Thanks for your help!

@Skorpion7777 Thanks so much for the very detailed response and giving it another go!

You’ll need to make sure that your Blockstack Core API endpoint is running at the location the Portal expects. By default this should be localhost:6270. You can check the Portal API settings in the Account app and also check the network requests box of the developers tools to see where requests are going and if they’re being answered by Core.

this seems to be resolved.
