node-pre-gyp issue
Opened this issue · 10 comments
Hi,
I have issues when trying to install tessera or any tilelive module with something called "node-pre-gyp". It seems this is something new, I already installed tessera on multiple servers in the past without problems. Now, when I try to install, for instance the module mbtiles, I received the following error:
npm WARN engine tiletype@0.1.0: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x || 0.10.x"} (current: {"node":"0.12.7","npm":"2.11.3"})

I have the same issue when trying to install any node linked to mapbox. I tried with different node versions, I got the same message.
I also manually installed node-pre-gyp (npm install -g node-pre-gyp), it works and I can run the program (node-pre-gyp -v > v0.6.26) but I still got the same error (sh: node-pre-gyp: command not found) when I try to install tessera or other mapbox modules.
Any idea ? Thanks
@springmeyer this is one of the npm
/ node-pre-gyp
issues I've seen around recently.
hrm. I am unable to replicate with node v0.10.40, npm v1.4.28 when running:
cd tessera
npm install
npm install mbtiles
The above works fine. Confirming: you are able to replicate with those commands but with different node and npm versions? If so, which ones and which exact command replicates this?
I just tried with v0.10.40, I got the same issue. However, if I install without the -g parameter, it works but in this case I have to use the full path to launch tessera (node /home/node_modules/tessera/bin/tessera.js) and when it starts I have the issue with the protocol (Error: Invalid tilesource protocol: mbtiles), which is logical since I am unable to install the protocol with npm -g (same error with node-pre-gyp).
npm@1.x
has been fine, in my experience. 2 and 3 exhibit different errors under different conditions (-g
is one of them, I think).
@flp-gpc what was the command you used to trigger that?
My npm version is 2.11.3, I used nvm to try several versions of node. Everything is working fine and I can install any node modules other than those from /or linked to mapbox.
My command was simply:
npm install -g tessera
or
npm install -g mbtiles
I also tried with a github clone, then just "npm install -g" from the directory, I got the same node-pre-gyp issue. The strange thing, as explained, is that I am able to install this node-pre-gyp by itself (npm install -g node-pre-gyp), and it works fine, but I still have the "command not found" issue when trying to install other modules.
Any idea about this issue ?
I tried to install the new version on another server on which a previous version of tessera was running perfectly, and now I got the same issue and everything is broken, I am not able to launch the service anymore :(

EACCES
is the other error I was running into ;-)
For that, try clearing your npm cache as a temporary solution: npm cache clear
(as root
if necessary)
I did but unfortunately it does not change anything, I got the same error
I'm getting notified by this ticket but about all I have to add is "don't run as root" as npm is known to not work well this way. If some bug replicates when running as a normal user then to participate in this thread I would need the exact commands to replicate. Otherwise I'm not going to risk wasting time trying to replicate with partial info. Scanning the above all I see is partial info and not anything I can surely replicate with.
The issue is that, no matter the privileges or the option set by npm (sudo npm -g), node-pre-gyp tries to pre-install as normal user without -g option.
My workaround for a similar case was as ugly as this:
sudo chmod a+w /usr/lib/node_modules/node-pre-gyp/bin/node-pre-gyp
sudo chmod a+w /usr/bin/node-pre-gyp
sudo chown vagrant:vagrant /usr/bin/node-pre-gyp
sudo npm install node-pre-gyp
sudo chmod a+rw /usr/lib/node_modules
sudo chmod a+rw /usr/bin/node-pre-gyp /usr/bin
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/node_modules/node-pre-gyp/node_modules/*
Then my stuff was working on node 4.x and 6.x.
