xdg-open : no method available even after installing xdg-utils

I am using generator-angular-fullstack. On my local machine its working fine, I run 

 grunt serve

it starts server but in VPS it's failing 

Warning: Command failed: xdg-open: no method available for opening 'http://localhost:9000'

and I have already installed xdg-utils

 $ sudo apt-get install xdg-utils

 xdg-utils is already the newest version.

Can any one explain me what I am doing wrong?

Solution

  • Are you using graphical environment? If you are using "raspberry" and you are connecting via ssh and you have no "grunt" configured to use PhantomJS, "Grunt" can not perform the task. You have to force him to continue to "serve --force grunt" or set the "Gruntfile.js"
