Trying to install vcremote on my mac: MARKS-MAC-MINI:~ mark$ sw_vers ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.12 BuildVersion: 16A323 MARKS-MAC-MINI:~ mark$ node -v v7.1.0 MARKS-MAC-MINI:~ mark$ npm -v 4.0.2 MARKS-MAC-MINI:~ mark$ npm list node-pre-gyp mark@1.0.0 /Users/mark └── node-pre-gyp@0.6.31

I've attached the output as well as the log.

How exactly does this have anything to do with node-ios-device?

hitek123 commented 7 years ago

Just following the advise in the output: Failed at the node-ios-device@0.5.2 install script 'node-gyp rebuild'. npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed. npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the node-ios-device package, npm ERR! not with npm itself. npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system: npm ERR! node-gyp rebuild npm ERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with: npm ERR! npm bugs node-ios-device npm ERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via: npm ERR! npm owner ls node-ios-device

Yeah, this is not a node-ios-device issue.

vcremote uses a package called vcremote-lib which in turn uses node-ios-device. Further, it uses a really old version of node-ios-device and it's declaring node-ios-device a dependency instead of an optional dependency.

So, you should contact the author of vcremote-lib and tell them up update to the latest version and make node-ios-device an optional dependency.

OK. Thank you very much.
