Cannot install frida-node on mac about frida-node

[SomeoneWeird]

Is there a reason you're installing from source? You should just be able to download a pre-compiled version of the addon using npm install frida

Thx for reply. Because I am not familiar with node.js, and the command line very much. I just follow the instruction from frida-node, https://github.com/frida/frida-node, at the bottom.

No idea on the difference of npm install and npm install frida. But I will try it on the coming Monday. Thx :)

try using $ npm install --save frida@latest then $ npm install in your directory again.
