The main error here is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Error: "pre" versions of node cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This error is caused when you attempt to compile a native addon using a version of node.js with `-pre` at the end of the version number:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ node -v
|
|
v0.10.4-pre
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to avoid (the short answer)
|
|
|
|
To avoid this error completely just use a stable release of node.js. i.e. `v0.10.4`, and __not__ `v0.10.4-pre`.
|
|
|
|
## How to fix (the long answer)
|
|
|
|
This error happens because `node-gyp` does not know what header files were used to compile your "pre" version of node, and therefore it needs you to specify the node source code directory path using the `--nodedir` flag.
|
|
|
|
For example, if I compiled my development ("pre") version of node.js using the source code in `/Users/nrajlich/node`, then I could invoke `node-gyp` like:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ node-gyp rebuild --nodedir=/Users/nrajlich/node
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or install an native addon through `npm` like:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ npm install bcrypt --nodedir=/Users/nrajlich/node
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Always use `--nodedir`
|
|
|
|
__Note:__ This is for advanced users who use `-pre` versions of node more often than tagged releases.
|
|
|
|
If you're invoking `node-gyp` through `npm`, then you can leverage `npm`'s configuration system and not have to specify the `--nodedir` flag all the time:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ npm config set nodedir /Users/nrajlich/node
|
|
``` |
