I got a little closer. It turns out that the forever package isn't setup as an dependency?

It's still not starting the service, but now I'm only getting this:

root@beaglebone:/home/gpio_test# sudo forever-service install gpiotest -s /home/gpio_test/server.js
forever-service version 0.5.6

Platform - Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)
runuserpath not found

Service is already present

I would recommend you can run

sudo forever-service delete gpiotest and try installing again.
