[Fixed] Node.js install ws unknown error?

FirefighterKyle · Sep 29, 2015

So I am trying to make a private server for some friends and myself on Agar.io, I downloaded node.js and also python 3.5.0. I typed this command in my windows command prompt (cdm) "npm install ws" but end up with this error?

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\pcuser>npm install ws
\
> [email protected] install C:\Documents and Settings\pcuser\node_modules\ws\node_m
odules\bufferutil
> node-gyp rebuild

I tried that, I did npm install -g node-gyp, it seemed like it updated or what not, if I did it incorrectly how can I update the files?

Adil · Sep 29, 2015

Try running node-gyp -v, what is the version output by that?

FirefighterKyle · Sep 29, 2015

v3.0.3

Adil · Sep 29, 2015

Hmm, that's strange. Do you have Visual Studio and all the appropriate SDK's installed?

I have vs but not sure on the sdk's will have to check. Heading off to work but would like to get this resolved so I will pm you and we can sky or tv, if that would help resolve this problem faster, thanks for the help so far.

Yes I got the same message when I installed it, but the module was still there + it worked perfectly.
Its common to get NPM errors unless you're using very well-known modules.

I don't know how you got it working because when I try to run my Ogar-master for agar private server I get this error.

Code:

module.js:338
    throw err;
    ^

You need to set directory before you run the NPM command... -_-

Code:

cd E:Agar\Ogar-master\src
npm install ws

How to I set the directory?

Run npm install -g ws, does that solve the problem?

Run the selected command in the node command line before running the npm command

Code:

cd E:Agar\Ogar-master\src

Check if you got the folder node_modules and if you do... run the program.
Stop worrying about the fucking log -_-.

EDIT: if not cd probably doesn't work (that's what its looking like) make sure your directory is set correctly.

The log wouldn't bother me if the start button for ogar-master to make my private server wouldn't keep saying need ws

Jaden · Sep 30, 2015

Please check the directory C:\Documents and Settings\pcuser for node_modules

FirefighterKyle · Sep 30, 2015

Edit:
Fixed the problem, didn't realize that I had to drag that folder into ogar-master. Thank you @Moonshine and @Adil for the support.
