Raspberry Pi npm install failure

See original GitHub issue

This seems similar to Issue 195, but is on a different OS.

I am running Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie), which is a flavor of Debian for Raspberry Pi.

When running “npm install mdns” I recieve the below build error: gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:258:23) gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:125:13) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:213:7) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:200:12)

See the attached log for more details: 2017-08-14T18_17_05_277Z-debug.txt

Found the issue. Based on Stack Overflow’s error: dns_sd.h: No such file or directory I needed to install the below packages.

sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
