Tailpress and plesk

[gdavey]

Hi,

I run a gaming community https://merric-gaming.co.uk/ and I wanted to use tailpress to replace our current theme, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience getting this working on plesk?

I have tried.
/opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar global require jeffreyvanrossum/tailpress-installer

When I try to run
tailpress new example-theme

I get an output of tailpress: command not found

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @gdavey Personally I would develop your theme locally and then, once you're finished, upload it to your WordPress instance. That way you won't have to use composer, node, npm etc. on your Plesk server.

I'm not sure how you can make Plesk recognise the command, but you could instead run the command from the composer vendor/bin folder (For example .composer/vendor/bin/tailpress).

Hi @jeffreyvr

I seem to be getting somewhere, by cloning the repo and run /opt/plesk/node/16/bin/npm install

473 error path FULL SERVER PATH/tailpress/node_modules/esbuild
474 error command failed
475 error command sh -c node install.js
476 error sh: node: command not found
477 verbose exit 127

Managed to get this working.

For future reference anyone using Plesk do the following.

export PATH=/opt/plesk/node/16/bin:$PATH
echo "export PATH=/opt/plesk/node/16/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc

npm install
