Error: Cannot find module '../build/Debug/nodegit.node'

[levibostian]

I cloned the repo, installed modules via yarn and npm i (after having to install openssl-dev and libssh2 via Homebrew on macOS) I got all the dependencies to install.

Now, I cannot get the build script npm start to run. I want to build the whole website (specifically get the table of properties page to build) as I want to attempt to contribute to the docs.

When I run npm start, I am getting the error Error: Cannot find module '../build/Debug/nodegit.node'. I installed nodegit via yarn add nodegit and npm install nodegit with no difference.

Any ideas to get the site to build?

This issue has been fixed. I have successfully built the site on my machine.

In the Tachyons Slack group, I was suggested to delete my node_modules/ dir and try npm install again. This did not solve the complete issue, but helped move past this immediate issue.

These are the steps that I took to get the site to compile:

• Install libssh2 via homebrew on my machine (crypto lib was required to finish npm install for a dependency)
• npm install. Failed. Got the issue this issue was created for.
• rm -rf node_modules and then npm install again.
• sudo xcode-select --install to fix issue with nodegit as defined in this issue. npm install again after this is finished.
• Electron failed and instructed me to delete electron from node_modules and try installing again. Ok. rm -rf node_modules/electron then npm install.

Done. Worked. Site compiles. Well...until I hit this issue
