Hummusjs: Error when deploying to Azure

[JensWinter]

Hi there,

unfortunately I failed deploying my app to Azure. It makes use of the great HummusJS library. Everything works fine on my development machine - a MacBook Pro.

When I deploy to an azure web app I get the following error:

Failed exitCode=1, command="D:\Program Files (x86)nodejs\6.11.2node.exe" "D:\Program Files (x86)\npm\3.10.10node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" install --production
An error has occurred during web site deployment.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thank you very much!

try this

[Run as administrator]
npm i -g --production windows-build-tools
npm install --global node-gyp
npm install --global node-pre-gyp
npm i hummus --save

@galkahana Am also facing this same issue. How u fixed that Issue

[JensWinter]

Hi!
I solved it by using a Linux machine. I suppose the problem occurs because some of the dependencies are not compatible on Windows environments.
My server is currently running on a Linode Ubuntu machine. But it should also work on an Azure Linux server.

Hope that helps.

I am also getting the same error in CentOS. How can I fix?. In the local machine, I am using ubuntu 14.04 its working fine.

Azure App Service does not give the user administrator access, so the windows-build-tools solution will not work.
