Thanks for logging. If you're a registered customer you can also log in through the support portal so we can assign a support engineer. Otherwise can you tell me more about your environment? What version of MarkLogic are you using? In the meantime it would also help to know if you are blocked on figuring out how something specific works since it appears you are working on a POC.

I am using marklogic 9 version
and Node v6.11.0 for deploying this application

[popzip]

Samplestack was released a couple of years ago and has only been tested to work with MarkLogic version 8, available here, and Node v0.10. For now I'd recommend exploring the code in the repository as a sample and not trying to run it on your system. If you have specific questions on why a particular design choice was made or how an API works feel free to post it in here.

[MLPOCUser]

as per your recommendation now I am using node v0.10 and marklogic 8 version but it showing following error

can you try this

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
npm cache clean 

[csreddy]

I just tried with master branch with node v0.10.33 and worked fine for me.

Based on the initial error message, it appears that you may not have installed bower packages. Please make sure to install under marklogic-samplestack/browser and not in app root.

From the second error, I'm suspecting it may have to do with gulp version installed globally which may not be compatible with build code (I could be completely wrong). Try using local gulp instead of globally installed version
From app root, you can reference local gulp like so, ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js run.

Let me know how it goes.

[MLPOCUser]

I have done all the steps you guys(popzip , csreddy ) suggested
like npm cache clean
and installed bower packages under marklogic-samplestack/browser directory

but still facing the same issue.

[csreddy]
