When attempting to install git-projects I get the following error:

Installing “git-projects@1.11.1” failed.

gyp_main.py: error: no such option: --no-parallel

@iyogeshjoshi This error can be solved by following the steps here: nodejs/node-gyp#426

[kevinsawicki]

RyenNelsen

Can you run apm -v and include the output here?

[RyenNelsen]

Sure:

> apm -v
apm  0.149.0
npm  2.5.1
node 0.10.35
python 3.4.2
git 1.9.4.msysgit.0
visual studio

Currently using Atom version 0.188.

Also note that I do not have any Visual Studio installed. Would the call for node-gyp rebuild without Visual Studio cause the error? (It shouldn't require it due to the general consumer not having Visual Studio)

I am downloading VS 2013 sp4 right now, I will report back what happens once it is installed.

Edit: VS 2013 did not help.

[iyogeshjoshi]

@kevinsawicki yeah that worked for me 👍 thanks :)

[kevinsawicki]

@RyenNelsen Do you have visual studio installed? It is required to compile this module.

Based on your apm -v output it looks like it is either not installed, or not being detected correctly.

[RyenNelsen]

@kevinsawicki Then you may want to have a talk with prrrnd/atom-git-projects#19 because prrrnd would be forcing everyone to install VS to just use their plugin, and they feel that it's your package causing the error. Shouldn't a pre-compiled version be included in prrrnd's package?

I did install VS 2013 SP4, and it still didn't compile though, just FYI.

[kevinsawicki]

and they feel that it's your package causing the error

This library is just a regular node module, node modules can contain native code that requires a compiler be available for building. That error is expected if you either don't have those tools installed or they aren't being detected correctly by node-gyp.

Shouldn't a pre-compiled version be included in prrrnd's package?

That is up to the package.

I'm going to close out this issue since this error isn't something that can be fixed by this library, it will be the same error you will see whenever node-gyp tries to compile native code and can't find the tools required.
