Running nyuu after npm install gives error

[GeoffreyDijkstra]

Ubuntu 20.04 installed nyuu through npm (which in the past worked fine for me): apt install npm npm install -g nyuu

Now I just try to run nyuu to see if it's working but I get:

[ERR ] Unexpected fatal exception encountered, stack trace below
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/bin/nyuu.js:1117
                throw err; // this seems to change the exit code a bit :/
                ^

Tried to just install that package manually by running npm install -g yencode but this doesn't fix it either. Any idea what the problem might be here?

Hi, are you able to check whether this is your issue?
If not, try doing a npm install yencode (i.e. without the -g flag) and see if that works. You can also test pulling the code from the node-yencode repository and doing a node-gyp rebuild inside to see if it works.

@animetosho Running npm install -g --unsafe-perm nyuu does the trick :smile:

Thanks for your quick reply, love this little piece of great software, keep up the good work!

Thanks for confirming that it worked. I should update the readme with that.
