I am trying to install node using brew but it gets stuck at make install and does nothing. I am using ubunutu 14.04. Here is the logs from the terminal:
==> Downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.1/node-v4.2.1.tar.gz Already downloaded: /home/tsepak33/.cache/Homebrew/node-4.2.1.tar.gz ==> Downloading https://ssl.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/56.1/icu4c-56_1-src.tgz Already downloaded: /home/tsepak33/.cache/Homebrew/node--icu4c-56.1.tgz ==> ./configure --prefix=/home/tsepak33/.linuxbrew/Cellar/node/4.2.1 --without-n ==> make install
I aso tried with brew reinstall node, but nothing works.
The make install step takes about 20-25 minutes.
On a 1 Mbps Internet connection, installing Homebrew would, in theory, take about ~1 hour.
Installing node takes up to 8 minutes.
Then I wish to use the package, do i need to restart nodejs? If yes, why? Not sure if i understand your question. You will need to modify your code to make use of the new module... so yes, you have to restart that particular node process.
I had the same problem. Eventually, I understood that I didn't wait enough time.
To prove that this is the problem, just run it with the -v switch
brew install -v node
The make install
step takes about 20-25 minutes.
