Node-gyp rebuild

[TomVerhoeven]

Thanks for the great work Mailith, Hasanga and Sisinda! The project seems very interesting to me. When trying to install it, I encountered a problem. Maybe you can help me out. I am using Ubuntu Server 16.04, but I could use something else as well. Please find the output below.

~/playmyway$ npm install --no-optional

Hey Tom,
Glad you like the project! it seems like the build is failing on npm speaker module. Since you are on Ubuntu you might need to install ALSA headers if they aren't already in place. Did you try sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev before npm install?

Hi Hasanga,

Thank you so much for the quick reply! Yes, I did install the ALSA headers. I am also using a fresh virtual machine to increase the chance on a successful installation. Do you maybe have additional ideas I can give a try? Thanks!

Kind regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Try this,
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
