npm install fails
juha-h opened this issue · comments
I tried to follow the installation instructions, but 'npm install' failed. Did I do make some stupid mistake (I don't know much about npm)? I was not able to find ibc/react-notification-system from github.

Which node
and npm
versions?
I tried this on Debian testing (Stretch):
jh@rautu:/var/www/tryit-jssip$ nodejs -v
v4.7.2
jh@rautu:/var/www/tryit-jssip$ npm -v
1.4.21
Such a npm
version is to old. I recommend upgrading to Node 6 (the current stable):
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
Anyhow, Node 4 comes with NPM 2, so I don't fully understand how you have NPM 1.4.21.
AFAIK Debian does not yet come with a "pro" version of Node & NPM.
After installing latest Node.js from the link above, both npm commands listed in README.md worked, but the second needed to be run as root user. Perhaps it would be a good idea to change prefix of the second npm command from $ to #.
Depending on your NPM settings, you may have global NPM modules installed into your home (rather than in /usr/...
), so root/sudo is not required.
