[bleonard]

any success in getting this to work? maybe it's a different node version or something?

[redmar]

for me it installed without errors by upgrading node-inspector from 0.12.3 to 0.12.8.
(node version 6.3.0 and npm version 3.10.3)

[haojiezhang]

I have the same issue. I still couldn't resolve the issue until now.

[bleonard]

@preetb123 @haojiezhang what node and npm versions are you using?

[bleonard]

BLs-MacBook:ReactNativeSampleApp brian$ npm -v
3.10.5
BLs-MacBook:ReactNativeSampleApp brian$ node -v
v5.4.1

[bleonard]

maybe this should use .nvmrc Anyone have any thoughts on that r what to make it happen?

[bleonard]

upgraded node-inspector here since that seemed to help some people: #30
