Can't install in mac osx

[bagusflyer]

I got errors when I ran the command:

sudo npm install -g tty.js

The error messages are:

pty.js@0.2.3 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tty.js/node_modules/pty.js node-gyp rebuild

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied sh: node-gyp: command not found npm ERR! pty.js@0.2.3 install: node-gyp rebuild npm ERR! Exit status 127 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the pty.js@0.2.3 install script. npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the pty.js package, npm ERR! not with npm itself. npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system: npm ERR! node-gyp rebuild npm ERR! You can get their info via: npm ERR! npm owner ls pty.js npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

I installed the node-gyp by:

sudo npm install -g node-gyp

But can't solve the problem.

[bagusflyer]

Any idea?

[bagusflyer]

Anybody encounter the same issue?

I'm also having a similar problem:

> pty.js@0.2.3 install /Users/ecilteodoro/.nvm/v0.11.13/lib/node_modules/tty.js/node_modules/pty.js
> node-gyp rebuild

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/pty/src/unix/pty.o
../src/unix/pty.cc:65:15: error: unknown type name 'Arguments'; did you mean 'v8::internal::Arguments'?
PtyFork(const Arguments&);
              ^~~~~~~~~
              v8::internal::Arguments

But this is just the first of a series of errors, mostly related to node-gyp.
Note: node-gyp and XCode command-line tools are properly installed. OSX Mavericks 10.9.3.

Yes. I found the node-gyp is installed. You have any workaround to fix the tty.js installation problem?

Not yet. Which version of node are you using? I'm using the latest v0.11.13. I'll try with an earlier version and will let you know.

I don't have a much earlier version of node. I tested with v0.11.12 and it broke when installing pty.js.

[bagusflyer]

v0.10.26.

Maybe I’ll upgrade the version first.

Thanks.

Here's how I could work around this issue:

npm uninstall -g tty.js
git clone https://github.com/chjj/pty.js.git /tmp/pty.js
vim /tmp/pty.js/src/unix/pty.cc

Change line 39 to:

#include "/usr/include/util.h"

Save and exit vim (:qw)

npm install -g /tmp/pty.js
git clone https://github.com/chjj/tty.js /tmp/tty.js
vim /tmp/tty.js/package.json

Remove line for pty dependency ( "pty.js": "0.2.4", ) then save&exit

npm install -g /tmp/tty.js

That's it.

It worked beautifully! Thanks!

@thirstyfish: thanks for the workaround.

[st32lthx]

that worked for me too, thanks !

[hpenedones]

Also worked for me in Mac OS 10.9.4. Thanks

fatal error: '/usr/include/util.h' file not found

[mscdex]

@stevenvachon Did you install Xcode and the command line developer tools (you can do this from the terminal via xcode-select --install and it should pop up a window asking you to install)?

[stevenvachon]

Thanks @mscdex. That solved it.

Will there ever be a binary distribution of pty.js made available for simpler installs and for building node-webkit apps without VMs or clusters.

[jtryan]

@thirstyfish Kudos to you!! Thanks for the answer. Xocde-6.1 w/ CLI Tools

[ivanoats]

Thanks @thirstyfish ! Your work-around worked on Mac OS 10.10 and node v0.10.33 today.

[hew]

Works on 10.10.1

Working on io 1.3.0 :+1: thanks!
