How to properly install the iotivity-node npm package

Question

I will be very specific and will divide my question into points.

I am running a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine with node.js on board

1. What I want to achieve in overall:

I want to install the iotivity-node npm package on my local computer

2. What is not working:

During the installation I get the following logs and errors:

iotivity-node@1.2.1-1 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/iotivity-node node-gyp rebuild

make: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/iotivity-node/build' ACTION Building CSDK iotivity-installed Cloning into '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/iotivity-node/iotivity-native'... remote: Counting objects: 3825, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (3825/3825) remote: Total 3825 (delta 281), reused 1993 (delta 281) Receiving objects: 100% (3825/3825), 13.87 MiB | 365.00 KiB/s, done.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b new_branch_name

3. Did anyone run across this issue while installing iotivity-node and if yes how you have resolved it? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

This means it failed to download the code it needs. Just try again - it should work.
