the node ftdi module requires the ftd2xx headers provided by libftdxx1.

There is some documentation how to install these at https://github.com/KABA-CCEAC/node-ftdi#prerequisites and also a script to help with that: https://github.com/KABA-CCEAC/node-ftdi/blob/master/install.sh

If after installing the headers you still have trouble installing feel free to reopen this issue.

Got it! Thank you so much!

One more thing to note - dmx-web -c requires a full-path to the conf file, almost got down a rabbit hole trying to get that one solved.

Ill send a small PR to update docs :)

Your call, LMK if you want anything changed.

PS thank you so much for your quick response to this issue, even though the last activity seems to be over a year old! I'm hoping to add some more features to the UI, specifically for moving heads - I just got some Elation Design Spot 250s. I'm excited for what can be built on top of this!

Great! Looking forward to it :)
