install.js: SyntaxError: Unexpected token "=" about ircanywhere

[fnkr]

Found the reason: install.js adds /usr/local/lib/node_modules to $PATH, however, I'm using nvm so the correct path is /home/ubuntu/.nvm/v0.10.41/lib/node_modules.

I have the same problem on Debian (Turnkey Nodejs appliance). Tried with and without nvm (including the workaround from @fnkr) but it did not work; neither on Node 0.10.41 nor on nodejs 12.7.

Tried the same from a basic Ubuntu 14 Container, installed node/npm via nvm (as suggested in the docs). Same error with and without fix.

Am I missing something here?

Bad code. Some of my code was merged without testing.

Also get this error. Can this be reopened?

What's the status on this? Is there a way to quick-fix it?

Quick? Revert my patch.
I'll leave this here, though, because it removes syntax errors.

Of course, I still don't know if this will work. Particularly db.command({ 'rs.status': '' }, ..., because "selectors" aren't exactly documented. Pull request at your own risk. Last time I opened PR labeled 'untested code' it got accepted. Not going further down that rabbit hole.

Maybe {rs:{initiate}}, but I have no idea. rs.initiate() works when feeding it through the shell. Don't know how to do it from node.
