Sprint 6: Maker Shed, Command Line Interface, a getting started video, and an open source workflow

Ya that’s what I did.
Just tried it again and this is at the tail end of the log.

@jfenwick the module ‘serialport’ seems like the culprit…

You have python 2.7 installed yet?

23

cyberdelia:sparkcore jacob$ python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Sep 12 2013, 21:33:34)

Hmmmmmmm.

24

What about this requirement for serialport:

Mac OS X:

Ensure that you have at a minimum the xCode Command Line Tools installed appropriate for your system configuration. If you recently upgraded the OS, it probably removed your installation of Command Line Tools, please verify before submitting a ticket.

25

This is what’s in my Xcode preferences:

This directory exists and has lots of files in it, which is what I believe is what I need:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin

26

Ohh, this:

This has some good methods for verifying whether you have the tools installed.
ls -l /usr/include/AvailabilityMacros.h and see if it exists.
If it doesn’t run xcode-select --install

However, now I’m running into a different error:

Hmm. Could be a permissions thing? Maybe try a

sudo npm install -g spark-cli
28

That is what I’m doing.
I get the feeling that when it calls node from inside the node-gyp script, it’s not doing it as sudo, so it can’t find the command.

29

Hmm, and you’re on the latest nodejs, and npm… Have you done an npm update? / Brew update / Brew upgrade nodejs?

30

One thing that you can try is npm install serialport. If this works, it might fix the problem; if not, it might at least provide a more verbose output for the errors

Also, the README for node-serialport might provide some help:

31

I think one of these commands fixed it:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R whoami /usr/local/bin/node
sudo chown -R whoami /usr/local/bin/npm
