I'm currently trying to start a project using the angular-fullstack generator (https://github.com/angular-fullstack/generator-angular-fullstack) but I keep running into errors trying to set up the project.

I'm running this on Mac OSX with node v7.7.3 and npm v4.4.1

This is the error i get after i run "yo angular-fullstack"

> iltorb@1.0.13 install /Users/USER/Desktop/forecast-me/node_modules/iltorb
> node-gyp rebuild

And then if i follow up and run "gulp serve":

    throw err;
    ^

Express server uses the shrink-ray module to compress assets before sending them over http. Nevertheless, shrink-ray depends on the node-zopfli module to install properly.

In order for node-zopfli to install properly, npm tries to download a compatible prebuilt binary. In the case of failure npm falls back to building that binary. A problem occurs occasionally when node-gyp is unable to build node-zopfli.

So, here are some paths you may explore:

  1. Try installing a c++ compiler like g++ on linux
  2. Remove the shrink-ray dependancy from package.json and the reference to shrink-ray in the server/config/express.js file
