Lisk-sdk: node-gyp requirement should be documented

Created on 5 Jan 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: LiskHQ/lisk-sdk

Trying to install on the 1.0.0 branch without node-gyp installed failed with unhelpful errors. This should be included in the installation instructions.

I did some looking. sodium-native does include it in package.json, so this is no longer an issue. I was able to build this on a system that otherwise does not have node-gyp installed.

I recommend closing this

@willclarktech Why not include it in package.json?
