So I’ve been struggling for a number of days following this guide:

I was able to get Redash server running, but since I cannot install node modules the frontend does not build npm run build.

I am getting this error when I get to npm install:
src/visualizations/table/Renderer.tsx:130:9 - error TS2578: Unused ‘@ts-expect-error’ directive.

I have tried jst about everything from deleting node_modules to reinstalling nodejs on my Ubuntu instance. I am now at a deadlock and have no idea why this is an issue. Please can you assist.

UPDATE: This process fails at tsc emitDeclarationOnly

I have started a fresh installation.

cannot build the frontend at all, here are the logs:

Some input would be greatly appreciated as I am still nowhere closer to visualizing any data

Hi, those instructions don’t appear to have been updated since May 2020 so are probably based on the Redash 8 release. Redash 9 is still a beta version and I don’t think any of the documentation has been updated since for that release.
If you just want to get it working locally to try it out, maybe try with a v8 release e.g.
git clone --branch v8.0.2 https://github.com/getredash/redash.git

I wonder if part of this is a limitation of WSL? V9 builds fine with a single command on stock ubuntu…

Yeah I think it’s a WSL limitation since I was able to get it running on stock standard Ubuntu machine as well. Still no luck running any version using WSL so going to conclude at that.

Even I am facing the same issue. Was this resolved?
