Monero blockchain explorer compilation not working ubuntu 16.04

Question

Hi I am working on monero blockchain explorer, Trying to work with this git repo. I have tried too many times but unfortunately couldn't get success yet. Right now I am facing this error.

CMake Error: The source directory "/mnt/volume-nyc3-01/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

while running cmake -DMONERO_DIR=/path/to/monero_folder command please help me I have to complete it soon. I have no time.

As per @jtgrassie I have added '' at the end of the command and it ran. but I got these response on result too. I don't know it will be an issue or not

Answer 1

From the readme:

# altearnatively can use: cmake -DMONERO_DIR=/path/to/monero_folder ..

Note the .. at the end.

This is also assuming you have followed all the preceding instructions (including changing directories):

git clone https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer.git

# enter the downloaded sourced code folder
cd onion-monero-blockchain-explorer

# make a build folder and enter it
mkdir build && cd build
