Unable to install on Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Jessie

[thelonious]

It looks like I'm running node v0.10.29 and npm 1.4.21. When I run sudo npm install i2c I get the following:

gyp ERR! build error

Thanks for any suggestions on how to get around this.

As the readme says, this version does not support the node.js version you use. Upgrade node.js to 4.6 or use the 0.18 version of i2c.

Ah, yes. I didn't read down that far. It's too bad the default experience on Raspian isn't nicer for node. I've switched over to Python for now. Thanks!

Why not upgrading nodejs to 4.6 or above?

I ran out of time with that project and needed a solution right then. I may give node a try next time around. FWIW, I have 'n' running now, so it's easy switch versions. I was able to build i2c with 5.12.0 and 6.6.0 just fine on the Pi 3.
