This looks like something that likely has to do with the difference between local and global installations of npm packages. I don't have an Ubuntu 17.04 box handy to test with, but I may see if I can get a VM up and running if I get a chance.

Have you installed npm previously on this Ubuntu install, or is it 'fresh' from that perspective?

[aclindsa]

I don't know that I have an explicit version dependency, but your npm/node versions are somewhat older than mine (I'm at 5.3.0/v8.5.0). What is your 'browserify' version:

% browserify --version
14.4.0

[nirajbhatt7]

browserify is the same 14.4.0

This is a brand new VM on Azure that I just created and installed everything fresh

Maybe if you do not find anything then probably I will try to install all the latest versions manually

I got a different, but likely related, error when I tried to do this on Ubuntu 17.04 (on a fresh Vagrant image):

49032 error Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
49032 error If you do, this is most likely a problem with the cldr-data package,
49032 error not with npm itself.

Following the error message's advice, I installed node 8.5.0 by running https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x (linked to from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server), ran sudo apt-get install nodejs, and was then able to build moneygo successfully.

This may not have been necessary, but I removed the $GOPATH/src/github.com/aclindsa/moneygo/node_modules directory before re-trying the go generate ... command.

Let me know if upgrading nodejs resolves this issue for you as well. If it does, I'll update the documentation to reflect that moneygo depends upon a certain version of nodejs.

[nirajbhatt7]

That worked. I had to do both. Upgrade node and remove node_modules. I have a working site. Will look around. Thanks

@nirajbhatt7 FYI, I went back and tested this with nodejs versions 7.10.1, 6.11.3, and 4.8.4. Of those, only 4.8.4 failed. It looks like the issue was fixed somewhere before 6.11.3 and that you don't have to be on the absolute latest versions. I updated the README to reflect this version dependency.
