Hi @Bruno Njeru. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
I see you're encountering an error with Wasp. The error message indicates an issue with the npm installation process during Wasp compilation.
This error appears to be related to a file descriptor problem when Wasp is trying to run npm commands. There are a few potential causes and solutions for this issue:
Possible solutions:
1. Try cleaning your Wasp project:
Run
wasp clean in your project directory and then try wasp start again. This will remove all the old node_modules and might resolve dependency issues Discord support thread.
2. Check file permissions:
The error might be related to permission issues. Make sure you have the proper permissions to access and modify files in your project directory. If you're on Linux/Mac, you might need to run commands with sudo or fix permissions Discord support thread.
3. Check for resource limitations:
If you're running on a system with limited resources (like a VPS with low RAM), npm installations might fail. One user found their VPS with only 512MB RAM was causing similar issues Discord support thread.
4. Check for processes already running:
Sometimes when Wasp crashes, Node.js processes remain running on ports 3000/3001. You can try killing these processes:
And then run Wasp again Process is already running on port 3000.
5. Check Node.js version:
Make sure you're using a Node.js version that's compatible with Wasp. Wasp requires Node.js ^18.12.0 node 19.9.0 cannot be used.
If the issue persists, you might want to provide more details about your environment (OS, Node.js version, Wasp version) for more specific help.

Sorry @Bruno Njeru, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?Indeed, try
wasp cleaning, and also make sure to be on the main folder of your app.
If it still doesn't work, can you send me the output of the following commands?
It worked @Carlos
Wohooo @Bruno Njeru, you just became a Waspeteer level 3!
