Can't install via NPM

[iamdriz]

When doing: npm install dualshock-controller

I get the following error (copied from log file):

Even if I do:

it breaks

[rdepena]

Strange, I will take a look at it this afternoon.

[iamdriz]

@rdepena Any updates? Thanks

[rdepena]

hey @iamdriz, tried last night and was not able to reproduce on two different machines, I think this might be a issue with NPM being in a bad state, can you try to delete this folder: "/Users/cameron/node_modules/dualshock-controller" and either retry or check who owns the node installation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16151018/npm-throws-error-without-sudo/24404451#24404451

[rdepena]

@iamdriz check out this issue, seems like its a similar problem:

https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6663

[rdepena]

Hey @iamdriz is this still an issue ?

[0lumide]

This is also an issue for me. I installed node using sudo apt-get install nodejs and when I try to install dualshock with npm install dualshock-controller it gives me this error

[rdepena]

Hey @0lumide what flavor of linux and version of node are you using ?

[rdepena]

Hey @0lumide, looks like I the issue is one of the modules I am using does not work with never version of node, there is already a pull request to fix it: https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid/pull/69

I would recommend using https://github.com/creationix/nvm in the meantime, I will keep an eye on the PR.

[0lumide]

@rdepena Ah thanks! I'll try using nvm

[0lumide]

Just incase anybody has this problem, it appears like I was missing a depeendecy for node-hid node-hid dependecies. Particularly libusb

[itaisteinherz]

Is this still an issue? @iamdriz @0lumide
