Error installing node-sass on io.js 1.4.1 on Yosemite

[chrisbenson]

I have a fresh install of io.js 1.4.1 on Yosemite via NVM. When I try to install node-sass, I get this error:

$ npm install node-sass

Can not download file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sass/node-sass-binaries/v2.0.1/darwin-x64-iojs-1.4/binding.node

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks.

io.js v1.4.1 is not supported by node-sass v2.0.1.
Please wait for node-sass vNext.

[chrisbenson]

Thanks for letting me know. Is there a version of io.js that is supported by node-sass v2.0.1? Maybe 1.3 or 1.2?

[am11]

io.js v1.2.0 is supported.

If you are using nvm or nvmw, you can actually install node-sass with io.js v1.2.0, rename vendor/***1.2***/ to vendor/***1.4***/ and switch back to io.js v1.4.1 and it will work.

It was our strong naming which is preventing it. We have changed the naming convention and vNext will work for all future versions of io.js or node.js, until v8-version incremented in newer version of those. See #694.

That's good to know. Thank you for the quick response. I'll close the issue.
