Setup issues

Windows and node-gyp

When you download this application through git (Either through zip or a GIT clone) It's possible you will get an error when trying to start the application. This is due to the fact that some modules have dependencies that need to be installed. So you need to run the install again.

npm install lame 
or/and
npm install sqlite3

If you run Windows it's likely this install will fail. Especially on a x64 machine because to install the dependencies, NPM uses a module called node-gyp. Which, in it's turn has dependencies as well. You need to install the following:

Windows 32 bits needs Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express. Download here: (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9709949)

Windows (7/8) 64 bits needs Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 which includes visual studio. Download here: (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279)

If you continue to have trouble installing the modules, Please read the documentation: (https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp)

I Already have visual studio installed but it's a different version than 2010

An example of installing lame with visual studio 2012 on Windows:

npm install lame --msvs_version=2012

Version mismatch

If you get the following message:

Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 11, got 1.

You are running a different version of nodeJs then a certain module expects. You simply need to reinstall the module giving the error. for example:

Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 11, got 1.

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)

    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12

Indicates that the module Lame is generating the error. so simply type the following to reinstall the module:

npm install lame
