Problem installing with node v0.12

[krusta80]

I was able to sniff out an issue with the installation pty.js (header change on line 39), but I'm still getting errors about pty.js when trying to install tty.js and was hoping you could point this noob in the right direction...

Here are the last few lines that I get from npm:

Just for anyone as stuck as I was, make your life simple and keep node.js below version 11 when trying to get this up and running. I spent a long time trying to get it to work with v12, but in the end I bit the bullet and reverted to v0.10.34

I've been running tty.js for months in a variety of virtual machines, but rebuilding one today with presumably a new version of node is breaking on pty.js with:

Error: Execution of '/usr/local/bin/npm install --global tty.js' returned 1: > [email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tty.js/node_modules/pty.js

Any update for this error as i am also having the same problem during installation ( node -v 0.12.0 )??

[psychemedia]

I ended up using nvm to push back to an old version of node:

  exec { 'node-install':
        command => '/bin/bash -c "source /home/vagrant/.nvm/nvm.sh && nvm install 0.10.35 && npm install tty.js && touch /root/ttyjs.done"',
        environment=>['HOME=/home/vagrant/'],
        require => Exec['nvm-install'],
        creates=> '/root/ttyjs.done'
    }

+1.. Updates on this? I MUST use node 0.12.x

Works great for me with node 0.12.7 under Ubuntu.
Since the other post are a bit outdated, what errors do you get?

Additionally, maybe updated dependencies in the package.json file will help:
"pty.js": "0.2.8",
"term.js": "0.0.5"

Yes, with an updated version of pty,js, it works great.
Thank you!
