Cannot Install on Linux Mint (Ubuntu Trusty) 64bit

[YOMorales]

Hello!

First of all, thank you for developing this module. When I saw it, I was happy that it used Maxmind's C lib for faster lookups, and that it is supposed to use the commercial versions of the mmdb files!
But I tried several times to install (both as sudo and regular user) and it failed. A friend also tried to install on his local machine and it failed.
Here is the console output (this was for an occasion that I tried to install as sudo):

This looks to be a problem with newer nodejs 4.x or ios.js. We're still running nodejs 0.12.x in our environment.

Updated support for nodejs 4.x. Give 0.10.1 a try and see if it works!

Gonna try it on Monday and see if it works. THANK YOU!

[YOMorales]

Btw, it worked quite well! Thanks.

It fails on windows. It gives similar error to the above
