Riak make rel failed application validation with reason: missing_app_file

Question

I installed riak from github, then ran:

make rel

And got this:

s/node_package failed application validation with reason:
{missing_app_file,"/User/foo/riak/deps/node_package"}.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

The default branch is develop - it's the development branch and may or may not always build.

You want to checkout the appropriate release tag and build that. The current release is tagged riak-1.4.6.
