I installed torrentflix via npm on a Void Linux machine, and I simply doesn't work. Every time I try to launch it I get this error message:

/usr/lib/node_modules/torrentflix/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:96
  throw err
  ^

Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

I tried installing bindings manually with npm, but that didnt work.

This looks more like an issue with xml2json rather than torrentflix, However dapphub/dapple#125 looks related.

Try that but replace deasync.node with node_expat.node with the fix above.

I tried that fix but it didn't work. I was installing it through npm install -g torrentflix and so I tried to clone the repo and install it through sudo npm install and I get the following messages:

gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/home/joaopedro/Repos/torrentflix/node_modules/node-expat/.node-gyp/8.9.4"
gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/home/joaopedro/Repos/torrentflix/node_modules/node-expat/.node-gyp"

Hm try sudo npm install --unsafe-perm --verbose -g torrentflix

Well, for some reason after a lot of npm remove -g torrentflix and sudo npm install --unsafe-perm --verbose -g torrentflix it finally worked :v

But I got a little bit curious, why would the --unsafe-perm disable the EACCES warning? Could you explain?

Glad you finally got it working 👍.

Its a long standing issue with node-gyp nodejs/node-gyp#454

Oh, ok, thank you. Will close the issue now, keep up the good work, you've got a wonderful application!
