S-o-o, I want to install it in Mint - which seems possible - but is it really all this complicated? Here's the site ---> . linuxjournal . com/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and doesn't this guy look like Maxx Headroom (https://www . google . com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjVyIGW57fbAhXruFkKHQ5QA3EQuAIIYDAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww . youtube . com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcY" target="_blank">www . linuxjournal . com/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and doesn't this guy look like Maxx Headroom (https: dpOjletnc&usg=AOvVaw2D0uu-BxqhZgiBC7o8SNOO)? Matt Frewer . . . . . . right? 8866 OK - the tech question is: Do I actually need to install Mongo? $ echo replSet=001-rs >> /etc/mongod . conf The site says this: "Rocket . Chat uses the MongoDB replica set OPTIONALLY to improve performance via Meteor Oplog tailing . " What in blazes is Meteor Oplog tailing all about? And furthermore: What's the OPTIONALLY-thingy all about? Does that make it a safe and true option? I know it's some sortta update searcher/notifier/installer, so is it all that important if I get an operational SnapChat up-n-running? One site says: "accessing the local mongodb database in order to tail the oplog reveals data for ALL mongo databases . This may be a security issue when hosting multiple applications (baked by different untrusted teams) with the same mongodb instance . Is this correct?" Since I'm NOT using several instances of SnapChat and don't have other 'puters on a network with me - I don't see that I need this at all - right? Wrong? What am I to believe? I'll be hanging fire here until I get an answer - I need to NOT cause a melt-down of my system right now . While waiting - I got this new message: joseph@SurfersMintu1 ~ $ sudo npm install -g n npm http GET . npmjs . org/n" target="_blank">registry . npmjs . org npm http GET . npmjs . org/n" target="_blank">registry . npmjs . org npm http GET . npmjs . org/n" target="_blank">registry . npmjs . org npm ERR!

HOW MUCH of WHAT was aborted? Just the mongo-part or the whole SnapChat? I'm kinda afraid to reboot this 'puter now until I find out what's gonna happen . In spite of this little hang-up, I'm truly enjoying L-based distros and adding certain refinements to it . The next thing I'm doing though - is to set up an expendable 'puter for all the mistakes I make . That sounds best to me . Oh -- BTW ----> I'm setting my R/ Pi up out in my workshop so I can have internet and streaming whatevers at my bench too .	SurferJoe46 (51)

Right outta the box I got shot down . joseph@SurfersMintu1 ~ $ sudo aptitude install npm [sudo] password for joseph: No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed . 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded . Need to get 0 B of archives . After unpacking 0 B will be used . joseph@SurfersMintu1 ~ $ ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/bin/node’: Permission denied joseph@SurfersMintu1 ~ $ . . . . and besides - it says: 6 . Now you'll need to launch google chrome, go to settings, go to extensions, select developer mode, select "load unpacked extension", and choose the subfolder you extracted the runtime to . 7 . You should see ARChon Custom Runtime listed, ensure the "enabled" box is checked . Warnings will be listed . 8 . Load a test . apk, by extracting the zip file to subfolder, then selecting that subfolder with "load unpacked extension" again . This time, select "launch" below the extension . You should be greeted with the app . All I have that resembles Chrome is Chromium . In this case, are they interchangeable . ?	SurferJoe46 (51)
