[Bug] hexo server Fails After Cloning hexo-theme-icarus

[hy0210]

Describe the bug
I followed the installation steps in "Getting Started with Icarus," but encountered an error when running hexo server. The server fails to start due to missing modules.

System and Environment

• Hexo Version: 7.3.0
• Operating System: macOS 13.5
• Node.js Version: v20.11.1

To Reproduce

1. Install Hexo CLI globally.
2. Initialize a new Hexo project:

hexo init hexo-0208-3
cd hexo-0208-3
npm install

2. Initialize a Git repository:

git init

3. Clone Icarus theme from source:

git clone https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-theme-icarus.git themes/icarus --depth 1

4. Set Hexo theme to Icarus:

hexo config theme icarus

5. Start the Hexo server:

hexo server

Observed Behavior

The following error appears in the console:

ERROR Script load failed: themes/icarus/scripts/index.js
Error: Cannot find module 'semver'

(Screenshot attached below)

Expected behavior
The Hexo server should start successfully and serve the default Icarus theme home page.

Screenshots

1. Console Error Message

2. http://localhost:4000 Output

Any help on fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe try npm install -g semver? Or try one of the answers on StackExchange.

Hi,

After reinstalling both npm and Node.js globally (though I'm not sure if this was necessary), here's what I did to resolve the issue:

1. I ran npm install semver.
2. After completing step 1, I encountered the following error messages when using hexo s:
   

   ERROR Package bulma-stylus is not installed.
   ERROR Package hexo-component-inferno is not installed.
   ERROR Package hexo-renderer-inferno is not installed.
   ERROR Package inferno is not installed.
   ERROR Package inferno-create-element is not installed.
   ERROR Please install the missing dependencies in your Hexo site root directory:
   ERROR npm install --save bulma-stylus@0.8.0 hexo-component-inferno@^3.1.2 hexo-renderer-inferno@^1.0.2 inferno@^8.2.3 inferno-create-element@^8.2.3
   ERROR or:
   ERROR yarn add bulma-stylus@0.8.0 hexo-component-inferno@^3.1.2 hexo-renderer-inferno@^1.0.2 inferno@^8.2.3 inferno-create-element@^8.2.3
   

3. I proceeded to install the missing packages one by one using npm install <package-name>.
4. After step 3, I encountered more errors when running hexo s:

   ERROR Package bulma-stylus's version (0.9.2-rc.1) does not satisfy the required version (0.8.0).
   ERROR Package inferno is not installed.
   ERROR Package inferno-create-element is not installed.
   ERROR Please install the missing dependencies in your Hexo site root directory:
   ERROR npm install --save bulma-stylus@0.8.0 inferno@^8.2.3 inferno-create-element@^8.2.3
   ERROR or:
   ERROR yarn add bulma-stylus@0.8.0 inferno@^8.2.3 inferno-create-element@^8.2.3
   

   
5. I then ran npm install --save bulma-stylus@0.8.0 inferno@^8.2.3 inferno-create-element@^8.2.3.
6. Finally, after all the installations, hexo s worked as expected.

I hope this helps someone who encounters the same issue!
