I was installing Truffle in Ubuntu 16.10 using sudo , but I got the following error message:

npm WARN [email protected] license should be a valid SPDX license expression

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-59-generic

npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install"

npm ERR! node v6.10.3

npm ERR! npm v3.10.10

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

npm ERR! [email protected] install: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

npm ERR! Exit status 1

npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] install script 'node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build'. npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed. > npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the wrtc package, npm ERR! not with npm itself. npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

npm ERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with: npm bugs wrtc npm

Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via: npm owner ls wrtc

  • It seems this error is a bug in Ubuntu 16.10. Is a solution available?

  • Do you have all prerequisites of wrtc package installed? npmjs.com/package/wrtc#prerequisites

Had the same issue on 16.10 Use --binary flag with truffle install command And avoid -g, the modules are harder to track if instaĺled globally
