install modbus not working

[brabant-v]

I can't seem to get modbus installed
tried various things from the most obvious google searches but none seem to help.

Taken from the README.md:

Now working only in *nix system.

Windows is out of the scope. (Which is what you are apparently using)

I was doubting if this was the issue but wasn't shure. Thanks for the confirmation

To be honest, your actual problem appears to be that you are most likely missing the build tools required for node-gyp to work. But even if you had them you'd be out of luck.

I've installed a linux machine last night but still encountering the same errors.
there's a problem with the npm installer.

didn't read it the eroors carefully enough "this is most likely a problem with the modbus package"

That's the standard message when the install script is failing, which is trying to call node-gyp at some point. If your would really read your error messages carefully, you'll notice that you are even missing the git command.

I've only been using this since monday hence the beginners mistakes.
You have any idea what i can do to make this work (starting with installing git)

[num-lock]

You need git and everything necessary for node-gyp obviously. This package is just a wrapper for another library (libmodbus) after all.

install git previously
