Getting Error: Cannot find module './out/NodeIMU' when running per README

I think there are steps/deps missing, possibly you need to include instructions for compiling the CPP code?

rupnikj commented

What platform and architecture are you using?

jbnunn commented

I'm using Raspbian Jessie

rupnikj commented

I'm using Raspbian Jessie - I don't remember setting up anything special in order to build other than build essentials...

See what error you get if you run:

npm install --verbose

Maybe I can help you based on the output...

Btw, I installed node like this:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash

Restart bash or run:

export NVM_DIR="/home/pi/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

Then:

nvm install 0.12
nvm use 0.12
nvm alias default v0.12

Thanks @rupnikj ... Was able to install nvm with no problem, then had to run npm install again, after which it successfully built the out directory.

I installed node another way. Not sure that I want to install it differently. I am using version 5.6.0 and when I run the sudo npm install I get this error;

npm WARN lifecycle nodeimu@2.1.6~install: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) nodeimu@2.1.6 node-gyp rebuild /home/pi/projects/nodeimu

And still no out dir.

Thanks. I would not have used sudo if I wasn't trying anything to get this to work. Do you think this is a version compatibility issue? The first error I get (out of numerous) when I run sudo npm install --unsafe-perm is:

../node_modules/nan/nan.h:41:3: error: #error This version of node/NAN/v8 requires a C++11 compiler

Why are you using such an old version (0.12) of node?

rupnikj commented

It should work on newer versions as well - it compiles with node 4 and 5...

I've just tested it on raspbian jessie:

cd ~
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="/home/pi/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
nvm install 5
nvm use 5

and then building the module using:

npm install --verbose
node test

I was on Raspbian Wheezy. I upgraded to Jessie and it installs no problem now,as long as I use the --unsafe-perm flag.

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm

If anyone would like to learn from my mistake.
