install failure()

[ElanUpper]

hello , I faced issue about “Failed at the node-rfc@0.1.9 preinstall script 'npm install node-pre-gyp'.” and the full infomation like following :

npm ERR! node-rfc@0.1.9 preinstall: `npm install node-pre-gyp`
npm ERR! Exit status 4294963214
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the node-rfc@0.1.9 preinstall script 'npm install node-pre-gyp'.

then I found "node-pre-gyp: python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)" my python version was v3.5 ,
Isthat affect error? or others ?

You will need python 2.7 to build any projects as 3.5 is not supported. This is a common issue. However, there are still build issues with this version

The way I got this to work on Windows was using the 32 bit version of python 2.7, the 32 bit version of the nwsdk and the 6.9.1 (64bit) version of node. I cloned the repo from here (not a standard npm install node-rfc) and then switched to the node_modules\node-rfc folder and ran npm install from there. I have the node, python and nwsdk\lib folders in my path and this is working for me.

Python 2.7 is only needed if you are building the project yourself. If you are using windows/linux x64 with node 4.6.0 or 6.9.1 you can use the prebuilt binaries via npm install node-rfc.

it works, thank you @MarcTimperley @io-pa, but still have one thing. if I want to zip folder node-rfc, May I get your help to realize which node-rfc/folders is necessary in project? and here is the full list download from github.

NODEJSRFCCONN\NODE_MODULES\NODE-RFC |.bin ├─build ├─demo ├─doc ├─lib ├─module_mods ├─src └─test

To use the connector, a compiled binary is enough, like in a previous unit test version:

https://github.com/SAP/node-rfc/blob/690f1351ef17f0183bad6302891cb29ba22875cd/test/test.js#L18

To build from source the repository is required.

Closing, looks solved.
