[Gmod-ajax] JBrowse 2 setup: jbrowse command fails

[Vaneet L. <van...@uc...>]

Hi all,

I've just begun to start setting up and installing JBrowse 2.  I thought I had installed it properly but I notice now that my jbrowse command fails every time it's run with Syntax Errors, no matter which sub-command I use.  Here are some examples:

jbrowse create jbrowse2

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

jbrowse upgrade

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '('

jbrowse add-assembly genome.fa --load copy --out /var/www/html/jbrowse/

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

For adding the assembly I used the actual URL of my genome fasta file after the indexes were created with samtools.  I got around the first command failing by manually downloading and placing the newest edition of JBrowse2 in my desired directory.  However using the 'jbrowse' command is obviously fundamental to operating JBrowse2 and adding tracks and genomes, so I need that to work.  Not sure if something in the underlying JBrowse2 code is causing this error.

Thanks,

Vaneet
