missing modules

I can read this in the wiki Installing page:

It will probably give you errors about missing modules. Install these using npm install <module name>, replacing <module name> with the name of the module it is missing. After installing the module it wanted, run npm rebuild and try to run the server again with node Core.js. Repeat installing missing modules until the server launches with no errors. HAP-NodeJS is now all set up.

Why these modules are not installed by npm install? It should be simple put these dependecies in the package.json.

Problem solved: avahi in not the only pakage required. We need nss-mdns too.

After this installation reboot is needed to make all run without errors.

And then we can run avahi daemon with sudo avahi-daemon. Now we can run node Core.js and have fun with HAP-nodeJS.

Ok, I search deep inside debian package website and try to search each term that looks important. So I found avahi pacman package (avahi-0.6.32-3). that is:

Service Discovery for Linux using mDNS/DNS-SD – compatible with Bonjour".

Is it what we are looking for?

I run sudo pacman -Ss avahi and npm install procedure goes well and no error occurred.

Anyway… I try to run node Core.js and I see this:
