Having trouble installing on Mac OSX 10.9.5 (error on npm run rebuild-leveldb)

[byronhulcher]

I'm getting a 403 error when running the command cd node_modules/leveldown && HOME=~/.electron-gyp node-gyp rebuild --target=0.25.1 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell

I've included the output from my console and the relevant npm-debug.log in a gist (https://gist.github.com/byronhulcher/4e2df5c57294a6857832). Looks like it could be related to #23 but I'm unfamiliar with nvm unfortunately.

I'm running io.js v1.8.1 and npm 2.8.3. I'd be happy to provide anything else you might need for debug, unfortunately I'm pretty nub when it comes to node. The app looks very cool, congrats on the soft launch!

I had the same issue (OS X 10.10.3) using nvm. The fix of switching to node 0.12 for the rebuild then back to io, as described in 23, worked for me. I’m not sure of a good way to do that without nvm though.

Hrm I'm unfamiliar with nvm, but I'll look into that, thanks @alecperkins!

My problem was that I needed to do brew install leveldb. I think that was what fixed it.

I had this issue too. In my case it was because I updated npm to a different version than the one packaged with iojs (thread about this on the iojs repo), so you may just need to reinstall iojs and not update to the latest npm afterward.
