How to install from source code ?

[ghost]

I wanted to install from source but I wasn't able to do it. I followed these instructions :

git clone https://github.com/oguzhaninan/Stacer.git

cd Stacer

npm install && npm run build && npm start

Hi,
What is the mistake you get.?

[liberodark]

is correctly what is the worry ?

The error is :

gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /home/user/Stacer/node_modules/fcopy-pre-bundled) while trying to load binding.gyp

[oguzhaninan]

What is your operating system and release ?

[ghost]

Linux Mint 18.1 with 4.10.0-22-generic kernel

For me wich commit 216 is the same is not work on manjaro or Solus or Ubuntu

I have done some wholesale testing it is a version problem for me

Seems like a problem with electron-builder. Reference: electron-builder/issues/1651
Updating electron and electron-builder dependencies solves the problem

same pb here with fedora 26

On Ubuntu 16.04.2 - None of the above steps for npm resolved the issue.
The above comment #70 (comment) links to an issue Cannot install fcopy-pre-bundled in electron-builder, where there's a suggestion to swap npm for yarn, which resolved this issue on Ubuntu 16.04.2.
Steps:
Install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list

Now, instead of the npm install && npm run build && npm start command, run yarn && npm start

@sheepdestroyer Updating node to version 8+ and adding build essential solved the issue for me.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

Also ty deleting node_modules/ and reinstalling again . For a few others restarting the maching solved the issue.
