Make sure the process can access the internet + has write permissions to the folder it is being installed to.

I'm having the same issue here. Working on a Ubuntu Server in Virtualbox. A lot of folders do get downloaded. Managed to run install.js in the node_modules/wiki.js folder. Allowed me to run the web based configuration (on port 3000), but after that the wiki doesn't start. No error message, but 'node wiki stop' claims there is no such process.

I'm having the same issue running the installation in a docker container running debian.
I tried the same procedure a couple of days ago and it worked without any issues.

As I'm running docker on a windows machine I double checked with a docker instance on a linux machine, no success either.
I then tried to download the wiki-js.tar.gz archive as suggested in the "Behind a proxy?" section on https://docs.requarks.io/wiki/install.
Now I don't have the issue with the stuck "[..] Downloading..." message but instead with the "Local tarball found. Extracting..." message - on both machines. It just hangs there and seems to do nothing.

Edit:
I forgot about the running installation and now, after 6 hours of extracting the local package, it is still extracting 😃 So something is definitely wrong here

Same problem with me on 2 different machines (a virtual in France, an other one hosted on Infomaniak).

I managed to extract manually wiki-js.tar.gz and node_modules.tar.gz (in node_modules) and modified the node_modules/wiki.js/install.js by removing :

then(() => {
  isContainerBased && console.info('>> Fetching tarball...')
  return tasks.installFromLocal().then(succeeded => {
    return (!succeeded) ? tasks.installFromRemote() : true
  })
})

If I run node wiki configure, server works up to the mongodb configuration and then it stops with a ✖ Not Found message.
If I manually configure the config.yml, I can run node wiki start, it works but I have no admin account...
