`node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build` failed during MeanJS installation on OSX

Question

I just bought myself a mac book after using Windows for a long time.

I was trying to work on a MeanJS project that I had been working on. Doing npm install

Answer 1

are you running the example from the node_modules folder?

They are not supposed to be ran from there.

Create the following file on your project instead:

post-data.js

var Curl = require( 'node-libcurl' ).Curl,
   querystring = require( 'querystring' );

var curl = new Curl(),
  url  = 'http://posttestserver.com/post.php',
data = { //Data to send, inputName : value
    'input-arr[0]' : 'input-arr-val0',
    'input-arr[1]' : 'input-arr-val1',
    'input-arr[2]' : 'input-arr-val2',
    'input-name' : 'input-val'
};

//You need to build the query string, 
// node has this helper function, but it's limited for real use cases (no support for 
array values for example)
data = querystring.stringify( data );

 curl.setOpt( Curl.option.URL, url );
 curl.setOpt( Curl.option.POSTFIELDS, data );
 curl.setOpt( Curl.option.HTTPHEADER, ['User-Agent: node-libcurl/1.0'] );
 curl.setOpt( Curl.option.VERBOSE, true );

 console.log( querystring.stringify( data ) );

 curl.perform();

 curl.on( 'end', function( statusCode, body ) {

console.log( body );

this.close();
});

curl.on( 'error', curl.close.bind( curl ) );

Run with node post-data.js
