npm install dynamo-archive fails

[jimmys]

I have a brand new installation of node and npm on OS X 10.10.4

$ uname -a
Darwin macbook 14.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.4.0: Thu May 28 11:35:04 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2782.30.5~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
$ node -v
v0.12.7
$ npm -v
2.12.1

When I run npm install dynamo-archive I get the following messages. I cannot figure out why it does not work, and I am a node novice so I am not sure where to go next.

$ npm install dynamo-archive

@jimmys here is the problem:

sh: nodejs: command not found

Make sure nodejs and node on your machine are executable

[jimmys]

Thank you for that tip. I symlinked nodejs to the node binary on my machine and verified they are both executable (note, I am uncertain what the difference between them should be, and searching Google this morning did not turn up a conclusive answer).

$ ll /usr/local/bin | grep node
lrwxr-xr-x 1 my_user admin 30 Jul 26 00:21 node -> ../Cellar/node/0.12.7/bin/node
lrwxr-xr-x 1 my_user admin 29 Jul 26 11:54 nodejs -> ../Cellar/node/0.12.7/bin/node
lrwxr-xr-x 1 my_user admin 46 Jul 26 00:22 npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js

$ node -v
v0.12.7

$ nodejs -v
v0.12.7

It looks like the problem is now that sleep 1.1.8 won't build and install. Is there a way for me to update the dynamo-archive application to build against a newer version of sleep, which does build and install correctly for me?

@jimmys why are you installing sleep 1.1.8? our packages.json says 1.1.x. How can I reproduce the problem you're having? You're supposed to run:

npm install dynamo-archive

[jimmys]

I am running the command you suggest. When I run npm install dynamo-archive it tries to install sleep 1.1.8, and fails. Thus dynamo-archive does not install.

I am able to reproduce this on my mac by having a clean Node install at the versions I quoted above and then running npm install dynamo-archive.

I posted that log above to show that sleep 1.1.8 does not install, but sleep 2.0 does. I wonder, do you just need to update the package to use a newer version of sleep and it will fix my problem?

[yegor256]

@jimmys this is what I have on my Mac:

$ npm install dynamo-archive
/
> sleep@1.1.8 install /Volumes/ssd2/code/blog/node_modules/dynamo-archive/node_modules/sleep
> node build.js || nodejs build.js

@jimmys there is something wrong with your local npm, I suspect :(

[andy-c-jones]

Just ran into this issue and also tested with a fresh OS image with a fresh npm install. Still happens.
Strangely updating to sleep 2.0 (like in this PR) didn't fix it for me either, I had to go to version 3.0.

@rultor deploy

@yegor256 OK, I'll try to deploy now. You can check the progress here

[rultor]

@rultor deploy

@yegor256 Done! FYI, the full log is here (took me 2min)

[yegor256]

@jimmys @andy-c-jones as you see in http://www.rultor.com/t/5524-149631058 - it installs well on Ubuntu 14.04

[jimmys]

I moved on from this software due to the installation issues, so I won't be able to help any more.

[andy-c-jones]

@yegor256 I was using the amazon linux ami if that helps you investigate.

[yegor256]

@andy-c-jones do you remember which AMI specifically?
