Zenbot: Cannot find module './build/Release/analytics.node'

[leota]

Hi guys, I'm trying to run Zenbot on Ubuntu server 16.04 with node v7.10.1, npm 4.2.0 and python 2.7. After npm install and npm link, if I try to launch any zenbot commands I get this:

module.js:472
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/analytics.node'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:470:15)

    at Module.load (module.js:488:32)

Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Same issue here, Debian with Node v8.2.1, npm 5.3.

Working! Problem was that I run npm install without having "build-essential" installed on my machine, so I installed the package and run npm install again, but without completely wiping previously installed node_modules. So If you're starting with a fresh new install (I'm testing on DigitalOcean droplet Ubuntu 16.04) this has worked for me:

    #install node 
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -
    apt-get install nodejs

    #install build-essential
    apt-get install build-essential

    #install python 2
    apt-get install python

    # clone repo and install
    git clone https://github.com/carlos8f/zenbot.git
    cd zenbot
    npm install
    #optional
    npm link

Don't forget to also install mongodb :https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-16-04

Guys, please upgrade to nodejs 8, that should solve the build problem.
Please make sure to rm -rf node_modules && npm install to reinstall everything.

Please report back!

I had the same problem and now it works after upgrade do node-js 8 and clear modules folder

thanks

A small log from the Discord channel from a user with the same error:

[18:53] derivagral: i'm not sure what you mean? this is from a checked out master on an ubuntu16 digitalocean box
[18:54] derivagral: i upgraded npm from 5.3 to 5.4 and am rerunning npm install atm, perhaps it'll just go away
[18:58] derivagral: looks like it works now, ty for the ping
[19:10] khinklenj: How did you upgrade to 5.4
[19:12] derivagral: v5.3 bugged me to run npm i -g npm, after which i removed node_modules & reran npm install

@HeyIamJames
Remove the node_modules directory and try it.
