Have tried switching from gcc to clang. Both produce the same error.

I had tried to fix permissions where it had indicated. The script successfully creates (and later removes) the directory:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ios-deploy

But can't seem to write inside the directory it creates (even as root). Unless there's another location it is trying to access?

Does installing other npm modules globally work? The module does attempt to build a binary, and may use the tmp folder, not sure.

guiix-code commented 9 years ago

Other npm modules install globally fine, yes.

Is there any way to check which file it fails to get permissions for?

shazron commented 9 years ago

You could try download the source: http://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy and run "make" to see if that causes problems if that doesn't it might be wherever node tries to install it.

guiix-code commented 9 years ago

Oddly enough, making ios-deploy-master by itself works fine. But not "npm install ios-deploy -g"

Works great thanks @doomsy

zachstronaut commented 8 years ago

This is helpful, and does work, but you know... crazy idea... maybe somebody could update the actual DOCS with this fact, so a thousand people don't separately have to google this ticket.

shazron commented 8 years ago

Maybe you should actually see that the docs have this before making this assertion? Hint: it does

zachstronaut commented 8 years ago

hahaha

Fair enough, the docs for ios-deploy indeed do mention it... it would be nice if the cordova docs did, too. https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.4.0/guide/platforms/ios/

ghost commented 8 years ago

Hey @doomsy, I guess I'm really unlucky today. Still getting the following error after sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm ios-deploy. I'm running on Mac 10.9.5 and don't have Xcode installed yet. It's probably 'cause of that. I'm not sure.

thanks @doomsy ! you're a lifesaver!

ghost commented 7 years ago

@SunandoSamaddar

Yes, you need XCode installed first. I ran into this just today. On your Mac: App Store

Top right, search for "Xcode".. and install.

Good luck

danjirawat commented 7 years ago

Thank you very much.

Saporules commented 7 years ago

after using @doomsy 's sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm ios-deploy Everything looks fine:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

/Users/Saporules/.npm-packages/bin/ios-deploy -> /Users/Saporules/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/ios-deploy/build/Release/ios-deploy
/Users/Saporules/.npm-packages/lib
└── ios-deploy@1.8.6

But after that I check with $ ionic info it throws the following:

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.2.0
Ionic Framework Version: 1.3.1
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.15
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.7.2
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: 5.0.6 
OS: Mac OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v5.5.0
Xcode version: Xcode 7.3.1 Build version 7D1014 

******************************************************
 Dependency warning - for the CLI to run correctly,      
 it is highly recommended to install/upgrade the following:     

 Install ios-deploy to deploy iOS applications to devices. `npm install -g ios-deploy` (may require sudo)

******************************************************

:( any Idea why?
