problems installing

[abiank]

Hello, I get the following error when trying npm install rstats -- please note that RInside is indeed installed. Is it the node / node-gyp version mismatch?

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'RInside'

First thing I would try is a different nodejs version (like v0.12.12). You can also use npm install n, nvm, n2 or something (to switch between versions as necessary, https://www.npmjs.com/package/n).

Which gets me to my question, I think I have seen consistently that v4 and v5 is not supported by rstats (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Anyone have any comments on that? I may try to dig deeper into supporting v5 soon. Thanks!

Hi, I would also like to see current node.js compatibility on this, downgrading is unfortunately not an option.

This looks like a duplicate of issue #14 to me - I've commented there about the current status.

Dear all, sorry about the current status of this project. Due to my other commitments, I didn't find the time to update the package to support current node versions. There is a fork by ijsf which is supposed to work with more recent versions of node: https://github.com/ijsf/node-Rstats/tree/0918c18a9b6a865aced557ce2d9c1d26ea155126

@Planeshifter: no need for apologies. We all know that real life takes priority.

Apologies if this is a dumb question; I'm not a node programmer :-) Is there an easy way to get that fork installed via npm or similar?

[chrislarsenqlik]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up, @philcontrolf1!

You should be able to install directly from GitHub via npm:

npm install https://github.com/ijsf/node-Rstats.git

Hi everyone! I am so very close to having it fully working with the latest versions of NodeJS. In fact it does work; but there seems to be a last problem with running cat or print causing a segmentation fault; but other calls work fine even writeFiles. You can install the npm module from github; and it will automatically clone and build RInside using npm package.json preinstall as a new package called RInsideNodeJS; from this repo fork... https://github.com/ColumbusCollaboratory/rinside) because the RINSIDE_CALLBACKS flag needed to be defined for NAN to work apparently. Try it by simply running this...

npm install https://github.com/ColumbusCollaboratory/node-Rstats

I'll pick up working on it next week; to try to find the segmentation fault problem which is apparently output stream related (anything that uses standard out in R--maybe the problem area). (fyi; I also changed it to use JSONLITE instead of RJSON).

Best!

Thank you @petegordon. I got this problem but it works with npm install https://github.com/ColumbusCollaboratory/node-Rstats.

Hi I also have installation problem and I use npm install https://github.com/ColumbusCollaboratory/node-Rstats command getting following error.

@petegordon
I am curious if you ever resolved the Segmentation fault issue. I really appreciate your work on this!
