Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/783

Description

I am trying to follow the instructions and install AnythingLLM on a bare metal server. I have followed the instructions on the "Run AnythingLLM in production without Docker". However, when I git the project the directory does not have any setup file that I can run yarn to set the system up. Am I missing something or the bare metal installation is broken?

in the root you should just need to run yarn setup - that will install everything and create the example ENV files

Ok, I have tried your direction. I did:
mo@mo-KVM:/anything-llm/server$ ls
endpoints jsconfig.json nodemon.json prisma swagger yarn.lock index.js models package.json storage utils
mo@mo-KVM:/anything-llm/server$ yarn
00h00m00s 0/0: : ERROR: There are no scenarios; must have at least one.

I got Yarn installed by doing:
curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt install yarn -y

What am I missing? My guess is that my Yarn is not the one the project is expecting to have.

When we git the project, the anything-llm directory does not have a file so called "setup".

yarn by itself installs all packages in the relative package.json for the folder you are in. If yarn by itself is not working then the command yarn install does the same thing.

setup is not a file it is a script in the root package.json - as I linked above. So you would run that by being in the root and running yarn setup or yarn run setup.

@moferreira commented on GitHub (Feb 22, 2024):

Well, it did not solve my problem as I run "yarn setup" (as it says on the documentation) or "yarn install" or yarn "package.json", etc., and none of these commands do create/install it. Maybe because I am not a programmer and don´t know how to use yarn. However, I am just following the instruction on the site and it does not work.

I am just trying to run it on a bare metal trying to figure out how I can go back to older versions of AnythingLLM. If I could install on a bare metal from git, then I could use an older version of it as I want.

Thank you anyway.

@moferreira Here is what I did after installing Yarn on Ubuntu (seen here, similar to what you did):

sudo npm install -g n to install NPM (node package manager)
sudo n 18.12.1 (Installs node version 18.12.1, works here as of this post)

Make sure you are in the anything-llm folder then run
yarn setup

Hopefully should work for you as well.
