Zeppelin: web Application failure while building zeppelin

Question

I am trying to build apache zeppelin using the instructions in this tutorial : Installing Zeppelig Tutorial

I installed spark 2.0 and maven 3.3.9 the latest versions. I used the following command to build zeppelin:

sudo mvn clean package -DskipTests -Psparkr -Ppyspark -Pspark-2.0 -Dflink

I got this error:

There is another thread on stackoverflow with the same error and @dirceusemighini suggests to cd to zeppelin-web and run the following command. The reason i created another question is because i am a new stack user and it wont let me comment to that question.

./bower install

I have tried that and i got the following error:

module.js:338
throw err;
      ^

parallels@ubuntu:~/incubator-zeppelin/zeppelin-web$

I have already unistall node, nodejs and npm and i reinstalled them globally

node -v : 5.0.0

npm -v : 3.3.6

bower -v: 1.7.9

Any suggestions??

This is on a VM running Ubuntu 14.04 yes? Could you update with the linkback to the other question you referenced, pls. Also, the error has something to do with `allow-root-install` could you try building with out root and see what happens / post the results. You may need to clone in to an entirely new directory. Also remove `-Dflink` from your build command as that is not doing anything. — rawkintrevo, Sep 06 '16 at 19:11
Also did you try [this](https://github.com/johnpapa/pluralsight-gulp/issues/7) `npm install -g q` — rawkintrevo, Sep 06 '16 at 19:14
Yes thats correct. I have tried `npm install -g q` and nothing changes. — Leonidas Constantinou, Sep 06 '16 at 21:22
Here is the link of the post that i referenced(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35014273/failed-to-run-task-bower-allow-root-install-failed) When i run the code without sudo it fails from the first line of Reactor Summurry which is Zeppelin ........... (look from the original error on the post) Even when i remove `-Dflink` i still get the same error from the post I cant post the full errors here — Leonidas Constantinou, Sep 06 '16 at 21:31
after you updated your env, did you delete zeppelin directory and reclone (that would be the next thing I'd try) — rawkintrevo, Sep 07 '16 at 13:38
to be honest, i formatted Ubuntu today and installed everything again. Still got the exact same error — Leonidas Constantinou, Sep 07 '16 at 22:30

The problem for me was Maven installation. I uninstall Maven and i reinstall it manually to /usr/local/apache-maven/ Then using a text editor i set the environment variables and re-run the build. Build was successful now. I don't know the actual cause of that but at the end it works..

gedit  ~/.bashrc

export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.3.9
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Run the build:

mvn clean package -DskipTests
