Can't npm install

[silverbucket]

Hi, I'm looking for a replacement to the buggy node-irc module and came across your library.

I'm wondering whether is this stable and ready for use?

I tried to install it...

It's quite lightweight so it's hopefully fairly stable and has a lot of tests, although it's new and constantly getting updated. It should work via npm install if not try putting the latest version in your package.json and running an npm install.

I tried that as well, still giving the same error. The output shows it trying to fetch version 1.1.4 and that's the latest version correct?

[rickihastings]

Yes correct. Looks like either an npm issue or something. I'll be at my computer in about 15 minutes and I'll have a better look at what's going on for you.

Maybe try a npm cache clear

[silverbucket]

OK, it finally worked after trying directly with wget (which still failed due to a certificate mismatch) then trying npm again. Not sure what the issue was but it was likely something with registry.npmjs.org and not with the irc-factory package.

[rickihastings]

Yeah ok thats good, a git clone into node_modules would have done the job too, although slightly hacky. Npm has been having problems lately so I'm putting it down to that. I thought it was an issue with the fact I'd published the module to http://registry.npmjs.org and not https://registry.npmjs.org but I've just changed my settings and it's worked again for me.

Feel free to give me a shout if you need any help with the package, it's still a WIP. You can check out the source at https://github.com/ircanywhere/ircanywhere/tree/development/server for some more detailed examples of how to use it to it's full potential.

[silverbucket]

Hmm, so irc-factory is not a stand-alone irc client, but needs the ircanywhere server as well?

[rickihastings]

Oh, no not at all. I've made a more detailed explanation of it in #2. The ircanywhere server is just an example of how to use it. If you're planning on using the persistance, you'll need to also include axon in your package. Although I'm thinking of making this available via require('irc-factory').axon or something.
