Installation issue in Raspberry PI2

[viikari]

Hi!

I tried yesterday to install this gpio node to Raspberry PI2 and installation fails. I didn't got nodes to show in node-red editor. I tried install gpio node to ./node-red directory as shown in examples with or without sudo without success. During installation I got error message from serial port library:

[email protected] install /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red-contrib-gpio/node_modules/johnny-five/node_modules/serialport
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport/releases/download/4.0.6/serialport-v4.0.6-node-v46-linux-arm.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v46 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

During installation there was no other warnings or errors than this one.

So, installation could not find serialport library. When node-red starts it also gave warning about missing serial port library:

So, what's going wrong with this installation?

Mistakenly pulled serialport because when using npm 3 it gets hoisted up from johnny-five.

I just published version 0.9.1 to fix this. Please give that a shot.

Fix seems to work and installation was success, , but serial port still gave me an similar error.

[monteslu]

can you paste the error you're currently getting?

[viikari]

During installation error was same than before:
node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport/releases/download/4.0.6/serialport-v4.0.6-node-v46-linux-arm.tar.gz

It seems that download link is not working.
