Sorry guys! For the first two Linux needs a few packages:

sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev libpng-dev

I need to get the README updated.

For the Windows error I'm not completely sure.

@octalmage I ran the command again. (The first time looks like some connection timeout.)

I got this. Looks like windows has some dependencies?

drobati on 30 Jul 2015

Looks like on Windows you need:

Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported.
Visual Studio 2013 (Express works fine!).

octalmage on 30 Jul 2015

@octalmage Thanks. It was resolved on linux by installing the mentioned packages. :+1:

itsashis4u on 30 Jul 2015

@octalmage I'll download VS13 Express. Already have Python 2.7.3.

drobati on 30 Jul 2015

I'm going to close this, if building fails after installing the requirements please let me know! I've updated the readme to link to the node-gyp readme:

Sorry to open this back up, but here's my rebuild error. I'm assuming this has to do with the newer version of XCode? I'm on version 7.1 currently and have Command Line Tools installed. I've tried a couple different node versions. v0.12.7 works fine, but I have other dependencies that need v4.x.x. The error below is running with v4.0.0.
