On my Ubuntu 18.04, I can't (re)install nyuu.

Tips appreciated. And in the meantime I'll search further myself.

sander@witte:~$ sudo npm install -g nyuu
/usr/local/bin/nyuu -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/bin/nyuu.js

> yencode@1.0.8 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/node_modules/yencode
> node-gyp rebuild

Unfortunately I wouldn't know off the top of my head.

Some things you could try:

• try sudo mkdir -p '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/node_modules/yencode/build' and see if it works
• try installing yencode first: sudo npm install -g yencode then sudo npm install -g nyuu
• if all else fails, you could install it non-globally and use an alias

Thanks, I tried all three, and only errors.

So ... I grabbed the binary (https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/releases/download/v0.3.8/nyuu-v0.3.8-linux-amd64.tar.xz) and put it into /usr/local/bin/ ... and I can post.

Thanks!

That's odd, but glad you got it working anyway!
