Unable to install node-libcurl about node-libcurl

[JCMais]

It appears that I haven't placed any package.json as I dont maintain any specific version dependencies. Does this cause a problem?

Yes, it does. You need a package.json file even if you are not publishing your project anywhere else, that is because npm get the dependencies from the file itself, run npm init inside the directory of your project, it will guide you through the creation of such file.

After the file is created you can run npm install node-libcurl --save --loglevel verbose, the --save flag add node-libcurl to your dependencies in the package.json.

I did added package.json as per your suggestion. However, I am still getting the same error...
Also, my main intention is to install node-curl which is also triggering some simillar error. Hope these two libraries are having something in common for build failure due to my environment. I could able to instal successfully node-curl in my mac but not here in this linux machine.

[root@host1 ayla]# npm install node-libcurl --save --loglevel verbose

Cannot find curl's header file.

Install the libcurl header files, from what I can tell, you are running CentOs, so: sudo yum install libcurl-devel

[sridharspeaks]

Thank you very much for your help This really worked for me but I tried it using yum install libcurl-devel.x86_64.

Thank you very much once again for your help.

[JCMais]

Glad I could help!
