error installing about reaction-docs

[aaronjudd]

Can you give us the version output for:

node -v
npm -v
reaction -v

We've actually been testing on Ubuntu, so I don't think it's the OS either.

(also, I don't think you should need to use sudo)

[jshimko]

@IanDCarroll Do you have Python 2.7, make, and a C compiler installed? You need all of them to compile the binaries in the app.

On Ubuntu, you can grab everything you need for Reaction/Meteor with this:

apt-get update 

apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends curl ca-certificates bzip2 git build-essential python graphicsmagick

Also, make sure you're running Node >=4.x.x

[IanDCarroll]

@aaronjudd To answer your question:

$ node -v
v6.2.2
$ npm -v
3.9.5
$ reaction -v
Reaction CLI: 0.3.10

@jshimko I use both Python 2.7 and gcc, so That should be good. But just in case...

ian@Sutra:~$ python -V
Python 2.7.6
ian@Sutra:~$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

I'll try your commands next and run it again. I'll report back after that. Then I'll check the updated documentation if that doesn't solve the problem.

sudo gives a shorter error message:
