Description
I installed everything using the premade Vagrant file provided in the docs: https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/automation-tools/vagrant
Once the vagrant machine comes up, I ssh'ed in and did
vagrant ssh
cd /var/www/rocket.chat
node main.js (same result with sudo node main.js)
and I get these errors
module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module '/var/www/rocket.chat/main.js'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

at startup (node.js:119:16)

I cannot get Rocket Chat to work using the following write-ups:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-configure-and-deploy-rocket-chat-on-ubuntu-14-04
https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/ubuntu/snaps/
https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/freebsd
They all end up with similar errors but I've started with the Vagrant once since it is the easiest one to reproduce. Is anyone able to get the software to work currently?

Research direction
Start with the Vagrant installation instructions linked in the issue and inspect the setup that should populate /var/www/rocket.chat. Reproduce the failure with vagrant ssh, then node main.js, and determine why main.js is missing. Done means the documented Ubuntu Trusty Vagrant installation starts Rocket.Chat successfully.
