RobotJS does not have binaries for prebuilt to work for Node Version 7 and
up. Could you try with Node 6.9.2 while the binaries get updated ?

@vshymanskyy In your error, an error showed:

../src/mouse.c:12:35: fatal error: X11/extensions/XTest.h: No such file or directory

That means you're missing libxtst-dev, so just sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev.

@lilezek Your error is very different from the OP, your error caused by Python 3 on your system which is not supported, you should install python 2.x instead.

twang2218 on 6 Feb 2017

@twang2218 right. I pasted the wrong log. With python2.8+ I get the same log as OP.

lilezek on 13 Feb 2017

This should be resolved by v0.4.6, please let me know if you still encounter this and we can reopen the issue.
