Linux Build Help

Hi there, new to Git projects. Probably made a stupid mistake but it's not building for me. Here is the output:

Here is my settings.js. I assumed you no longer have to change the path to metadata.repo:

//where your sketches live exports.usersketches = "/home/corky/sketchbook/";

//where your personal libraries live. new libs will not go here exports.userlibs = "/home/corky/sketchbook/Libraries";

// root of the regular Arduino IDE app exports.root = "/usr/share/arduino/arduino";

//where new libs will be downlaoded to exports.repos = "/home/corky/sketchbook/projects/junkrepos";

// ============== // you shouldn't need to modify anything below this line //template for new sketches exports.sketchtemplate = "sketchtemplate.ino";

//path to the metadata repo exports.datapath = "node_modules/arduinodata/libraries"; exports.boardpath = "node_modules/arduinodata/boards";

Sorry for the long post, I didn't want to cut out the successes in the build just in case they were important.

Can you tell me what node --version and npm --version report?

[corkybeta]

Well that's weird. node returns no error but no text. I actually can't get node to speak atall when it's definitely installed, so I'll have to fix that and tell you what happens. npm version is 1.4.9

[wilsonmfg]

you probably you have ax25-node overriding nodejs. remove the "node" package and reinstall the nodejs package and that should fix it.

[corkybeta]

There we go. You've since updated the readme to include that node doesn't exist on Ubuntu. The package installs but does not do anything. Instead i had to install the ppa then install the package nodejs, then run nodejs --version not node --version. I then ran npm install to get the dependencies and we're working! This is an issue caused by my own misunderstanding based on early versions of the documentation and a dependency issue that has since been fixed

[joshmarinacci]

Great. I'll close out the issue now.
