You'll need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the IDE passes it to node-oracledb or
look at #231 and #149

@cjbj is it true that the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH must be set, still? I've been reading the other linked threads (231 and 149) and i'm a bit confused.

I'm having problems with OSX 10.11 / El Capitan, with launchers like nodemon and foreverjs. they don't work, because OSX won't foward the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

I have the DYLD set in my .bash_profile appropriately, so I can run my code by doing node foo.js but if i change this to nodemon foo.js it fails with the "Reason: Image Not Found" problem since the DYLD path is not forwarded.

Is there a way to make this work with nodemon, foreverjs, and other sub-shell / launchers?

@derickbailey I documented a method of installing with 11.2 instant client that doesn't require DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Try it out: https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/blob/master/INSTALL.md#instosx

thanks @cjbj - i had not noticed the change in those instructions when i looked at it before. i re-ran all of the steps, and everything is working for me, with nodemon and my other tooling now.

@derickbailey you could alternatively create the links in ~/lib as noted by @raymondfeng in #149 (comment)
I will update INSTALL.md to show both methods. I have already updated the generic OS X Instant Client install notes at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html#ic_osx_inst

For me it did not work set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked fine.

e.g: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users//Library/Oracle/instantclient_12_2/
