Error messages installing on Digital Ocean

[opn]

A quick note and attached screen-cast of the error messages I got with the recent install of wiki-node on Digital Ocean servers. My previous install went without problem - this time it worked out OK - but with a lot of complaining:

Hard to catch on errors messages on a screen cast. Would have been far better to include the log here.

The messages I managed to catch from the video are:

gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/root/.node-gyp/0.10.35"
gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/wiki/node_modules/wiki-plugin-txtzyme/node_modules/ws/node_modules/bufferutil/.node-gyp"

This is a know problem with gyp - see the node-gyp repo for details, but is just a warning so nothing to worry about.

gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make

Looks as if make is missing from the environment - have you changed the PATH environment variable? Or installed a version of Ubuntu without the developer tools?

@opn I had forgotten the make messages you have been seeing, until you did the wiki upgrade in yesterday's hangout.

Looking on the Ubuntu support site, the suggested fix is to re-install the make package, by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove make
sudo apt-get install make
