Error on `npm install -g generator-nod`
Hi thanks for this amazing repo!
Ran into the following error while trying to install the generator. I think it's related to: https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/issues/1347
Can anybody confirm? Thanks!
- macOS 10.13.2
- node 8.7.0
- npm 5.5.1

It seems to be a long-standing issue on nodegit. I had this problem in the past, but have been able to fix that on my machine by following some instructions on https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/issues/1347
Even so, if you guys can't fix this on your machine, there's also the option to use the repository as a boilerplate: https://github.com/diegohaz/nod#install
This is such a pain. nodegit#1347 has a comment mentioning spaces in the cwd, but that's for the pre-install configuring of libssh2 error, right? I'm getting an error where it fails because too many errors.
I had the same issue:
- Ubuntu 16.04
- node v9.1.0
Solved after doing sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev as per instructions on nodegit/nodegit#1347
