Failed to install socket.io by npm

问题:

I have nodejs v0.12.2 installed, and the Visual C++ express 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. When I ran npm install -g socket.io, i got thousands line error.

something like below, anyone could help to research and fix this error?

回答1:

I hit the same problem, and it looks to me like a problem with the version of ws that engine.io-client installs. Moving to a newer version of ws solved the problem for me. One way to get that is to install the latest (unpublished) version of socket.io from github:

npm install -g automattic/socket.io
