Problem during npm install

[gvader]

I am on Ubuntu 16.10 with newest node.js. Had problem with build as below:

gyp: Call to 'node -e "require('nan')"' returned exit status 127 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp
gyp ERR! configure error

What are your versions:

node:
npm:
libusb:

I noticed this similar issue (error 127) nodejs/node-gyp#223
I have not yet come across this error though.

Please install node v6+ as that is mosylikely the problem, then re-install the project's dependencies.

rm -rf node_modules && npm i

Updates?

[stephenlacy]

Could you do this:

git pull
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
sudo npm start

Just published a release: https://github.com/stevelacy/msi-keyboard-gui/releases/tag/0.1.3
Can you confirm that the binary does run correctly, and if not the errors it produces?
Thanks
