Cannot install node oracle on Mac

I follow all the instructions to install node oracle on my computer. When I run sudo npm install oracle (or without sudo) I get:

../src/connection.h:11:10: fatal error: 'occi.h' file not found

    #include <occi.h>
         ^
1 error generated.

I do however have the occi.h file. I have scoured online for hours to no avail. Any ideas?

I hit the same error and I saw that I forgot to install Instant Client Package - SDK which has additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant Client. When I put the sdk folder to the $OCI_HOME (that is the path to the instantclient_VV_v folder) , it was resolved.

I posted a bounty since I hit this issue but then I was able to resolve it in a few steps. You need to export the variables, then do a few more items. I found detailed install instructions for the oracle driver here - https://github.com/joeferner/node-oracle/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Just follow those step by step and you should be good.
