Installing this package on a fresh atom installation results in an error

[tkodev]

I'm encountering an error when installing "particle-dev-complete" or "particle-dev" on a fresh atom installation (1.8.0)

I'm not savvy enough to figure out the error, but I'm wondering if there is anyone here that can help?

Here is the error log: http://pastebin.com/dCrGkreV

I've also posted this on the particle dev complete github ( particle-iot-archived/particle-dev-complete#1 ) but now I see that this is more of a particle-dev error

Hi Tony,

it's an issue with serialport package that Partice Dev uses. I would recommend to install a precompiled Particle Dev App that has all the prerequisites.

If you still want to try installing Particle Dev package, you would need to install node-gyp dependencies first.

[tkodev]

Hey

Thanks for the reply. I would like to install it to Atom and I have installed node-gyp along with node. It is still throwing the error. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

[suda]

@htko89 Did you install all the dependencies like Visual Studio and Python?

[tkodev]

Yes I have, sorry for the late reply. Is there any dependencies within visual studio community that need to be installed ? (I have picked just the default install preset)

[tkodev]

I do have a question: It's not clear on whether or not I have to install node.js separately on my system (which I have) and where to install node-gyp. Sorry if this makes no sense, but I imagine atom is using its own version of node (from what I'm reading in the error log, the versions don't match up)

If I'm right, or partially on track, what are the instructions to set up node-gyp correctly?

[suda]

You're exactly right. Atom bundles its own version of Node. In your logs I see following error:

error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution". 

So I guess installing the SDK should help

Hey, I think I'm running into either the same error, or a very similar one.

Full error message: http://pastebin.com/hmuB9Eh3

I was trying to install Particle Dev on a fresh build of Atom from source on Ubuntu 16.04.

➜ ~ atom-beta --version
Atom : 1.10.0-beta4
Electron: 0.37.8
Chrome : 49.0.2623.75
Node : 5.10.0

(As recommended above, I'll try installing a prebuilt package, but there's no x86 .deb available for Atom, so that will mean moving to my laptop and OS X.)

I have the same error in Ubuntu and Fedora

[suda]

Could you all try this? It might help

[Magnus512]

As soon as I can

[xavierdebriey]

I've also the same problem. I tried your solution, @suda, i've managed to install particle-dev package but the same errors come back when i rebuild the package.

Thank you very much

[Magnus512]

Rebuilding will fail as Atom doesn't currently pass npm_config_runtime. Removing package and installing it via terminal should be enough to have it working (without rebuilding).

[suda]

Latest Atom which bundles with latest apm should build those packages correctly.

@suda im having the same serialport issue when installing particle-dev-complete in the latest atom editor
