Hi @jiangtao,

There’s a pull request in the works that I believe will fix this: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/pull/130

What’s potentially happening is some dependencies needed during the install process aren’t available from China (other reports of this have come in). The pull request is to include these in the Mattermost repo so you don’t hit this again,

You can look at the pull request and either download the files needed from what’s there, or maybe wait until that pull request is completed and try the installer again?

Although this is an old thread I wanted to note that this error still happens when you start mattermost by running ~/mattermost/bin/platform instead of running cd ~/mattermost/bin && ./platform.

I believe I’m havng same problem, this is latest version as of yesterday, installed from source on linux (debian jesse)
