On Debian 8 x64, nodejs 0.12.9, when doing npm install frida the procedure fails by missing the "frida-core.h":

user@hhvm1:/tmp$ npm install frida

> frida@6.0.6 install /tmp/node_modules/frida
> prebuild --download

Could you please comment whether frida-node bindings can be used this way or they must always be built from full Frida source tree?

The install step falls back to building from source if there's no prebuilt binary available for your system. We currently only provide binaries for Node.js LTS (currently 4.x) and stable (currently 5.x), so the easiest is to install the latest Node.js 5.x and then try again.

Everything works fine on NodeJS 5.x. Thank you!
