Issue installing JSDOM on mac

Question

Using this command: npm install jsdom, in an attempt to get jsdom up and running to use with a node.js server, I get the following series of errors. Could somebody please help clarify this issue? I think that there might also be an issue because it cannot install contextify...thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You need GCC to compile these node.js modules.

1. Go to the App store and download the latest version of Xcode for free.
2. Install Xcode (the app store actually downloads the "installer" for Xcode)
3. Start Xcode
4. Go to Preferences
5. Go to Downloads
6. Click on the "install" button after "Command Line Tools"
7. Reboot

Done! :)
