Issue
I'm attempting to run a project called Streetmix in Debian 9. I have followed the install instructions to the best of my ability. So, when i use the NPM Start command (with or without sudo) in the streetmix folder I get:
> [email protected] prestart /home/dpowell/streetmix/streetmix
> npm run mongo:start
> [email protected] mongo:start /home/dpowell/streetmix/streetmix
> mongod --fork --logpath /dev/null
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 2076

The instructions at Streetmix say that I needed to add the mongodb/bin folder to $PATH, but the command mongo --version works from any folder, which I take it to mean that since mongo is in the usr/bin folder that it's already in my $PATH, correct? (I've also started mongod and then Mongo shell to make sure that's working. I have also created the /data/db folders.
Does anyone have any insight into what my problem may be?
Here are the contents of the log mentioned at the end of the error:

Solution
The problem is with the --fork. I had the same problem.
What you need to do is remove the prestart and mongo:start script from package.json, open mongodb in a seperate terminal. Then you can run npm start as you normally do!
P.S. Make sure you don't commit this modified file
