Install fails under io.js

[malexdev]

When using io.js 1.5.0, running npm i -g nativescript fails due to compile errors on fibers.js.

+1 for this error, but I think this is an issue of io.js or fiber, not nativescript

Hi @codechimera , @tjwudi
Currently nativescript-cli does not support io.js. The problem is that io.js is using version of V8 that is different from the one used on Nodejs 0.10.x and 0.12.x
Several of our dependencies are using native calls to V8 and at the moment most of them do not support io.js. We are notifying the developers of the dependencies for these issues and we are working closely with them in order to add support for io.js in the near future. Unfortunately you will have to use nodejs 0.10.x or nodejs 0.12.x for the moment.

Ok, makes sense. Thanks for the response!
Do you want me to close the issue, since it seems the team was already aware of it?

@codechimera , I prefer to keep it open, so we'll all track it here and write comments in case we have new information. So I'll assign it to myself and I'll keep it updated with the current progress.

Gotcha. Sounds great!

Hi, support for io.js is not deprecated now, please follow the new issue for working with Node 4.x.x here.
