Not working on Fedora 20

[ghost]

Hi there,

Installing Prey 1.2.5 on fedora 20 (3.16.3-200) via npm is not working. Depencies are installed, running "npm install -g prey" produces the following error:

usr/bin/prey -> /usr/lib/node_modules/prey/bin/prey

./bin/prey config hooks post_install

Voila! All good.

Oops, looks like we're having trouble setting up the daemon. What daemon/init system does Fedora 20 use? What commands are needed to a) check the existence, b) create and c) remove a system daemon?

Thanks for the heads up, by the way.

I made good progress today on this. I'll keep you posted once I have tested more thoroughly.

Sorry, didn't read any comments the past few days. Thank you, sounds great that you made progress. Do you still need any informations?

[tomas]

No, actually, yesterday I pushed 1.2.7 which includes a number of fixes to the daemon script installation. Try doing an npm install -g [email protected] and see if it works!

[tomas]

Any luck? :)

Thanks, I had to reinstall node nodejs and npm. Unfortunately, there is a repo based failure, so npm installation looks not complete... So I had to manually install some nodejs-* packages.
npm/npm#3724

After that, the installation looks sucessfull, these are the only WARNings fomr npm:
npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/block-stream requires inherits@'~2.0.0' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency undefined,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined
npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/fstream requires inherits@'~2.0.0' but will load

But it looks like it works... Thank you!

Awesome! Closing this ticket then.
