Apache Zeppelin installation grunt build error

Question

My configuration is as follows:

Ubuntu 15.04
Java 1.7
Spark 1.4.1
Hadoop 2.7
Maven 3.3.3

I am trying to install Apache Zeppelin after successfully cloning it from github and using the following command

mvn clean package -DskipTests

Despite several attempts, I am getting the following error after some initial success:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:0.0.23:grunt (grunt build) on project zeppelin-web: Failed to run task: 'grunt --no-color' failed. (error code 3) -> [Help 1]

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Regards,

Answer 1

It fails because of a karma:test fails on PhantomJS. Remove the karma test from Gruntfile.js inside zeppelin-web folder. Worked for me.
