Try with: node maptail.js <filename> Something to do with the permissions I think. Dependencies should be reported by node. Everything you need is on npm.

  Thanks. I hadn't used node before (and so it wasn't installed). Now I'm getting an error about the express module (rror: Cannot find module 'express'). Some google-fu is leading to helpful information, so your little project is turning into a nice crash-course in node for me. :)

    Install npm from http://npmjs.org http://npmjs.org so you can then install any package that it reports missing.

      Thanks. Getting closer. Some random pages I've read seem to indicate that express and npm don't always work well together from an installation standpoint. Your experience show otherwise?
      • stagas 16y ago
        Not valid, npm installs express with no issues.

    I'm in the same boat; learning about Node and NPM. However, I am at an enpass with an error about 'isConfigurable' method on the Chaos library. Any clue about how to fix it? node.js:63 throw e; ^ TypeError: Cannot call method 'isConfigurable' of undefined at Function.seal (native) at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/rnhurt/.node_libraries/.npm/chaos/0.1.6-pre/package/chaos.js:40:10) at new <anonymous> (/Users/rnhurt/.node_libraries/.npm/chaos/0.1.6-pre/package/chaos.js:87:20) at /Users/rnhurt/.node_libraries/.npm/chaos/0.1.6-pre/package/chaos.js:64:40 at /Users/rnhurt/.node_libraries/.npm/helpful/0.0.3/package/lib/login.js:205:23 at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/rnhurt/src/js/maptail/maptail.js:57:5) at Module._compile (node.js:462:23) at Module._loadScriptSync (node.js:469:10) at Module.loadSync (node.js:338:12) at Object.runMain (node.js:522:24)

      Must be an incompatibility with the master version of node.js. git checkout v0.3.1 of node.js which is the version I'm using.

        Tried on v0.3.5 - works fine after I added a "partials" parameter to boil config on maptail.js line 39. Otherwise boil.js fails to normalize the path because it's passing an undefined value and path.normalize tries to access "charAt" function of the string.

          Can you be more specific? This is the first time I've tried to use node.js for anything and am very unfamiliar with the environment. I'm running into the charAt problem though, so I think your fix will be my fix.
          • sandaru1 16y ago
            maptail.js line 43 add following line : , partials: __dirname + '/views'
        • Corrado 16y ago
          Same for me. node v0.3.5 gives me a 'charAt' error, however I didn't add a "partials" parameter to anything.
        • stagas 16y ago
          Use v0.3.1
          • Corrado 16y ago
            Confirmed that v0.3.1 works where v0.3.5 does not. :/

    One liner to get all the modules (not sure if this is supposed to happen automagically, but I had to do it all by hand): $ for module in express helpful socket.io geoip; do ~/opt/bin/npm install $module; done
