Error on `npm install -g generator-nod`

[clodal]

Hi thanks for this amazing repo!

Ran into the following error while trying to install the generator. I think it's related to: nodegit/nodegit#1347

Can anybody confirm? Thanks!

Same issue here

• node 8.9.4
• npm 5.6.0

It seems to be a long-standing issue on nodegit. I had this problem in the past, but have been able to fix that on my machine by following some instructions on nodegit/nodegit#1347

Even so, if you guys can't fix this on your machine, there's also the option to use the repository as a boilerplate: https://github.com/diegohaz/nod#install

This is such a pain. nodegit#1347 has a comment mentioning spaces in the cwd, but that's for the pre-install configuring of libssh2 error, right? I'm getting an error where it fails because too many errors.

I had the same issue:

• Ubuntu 16.04
• node v9.1.0

Solved after doing sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev as per instructions on nodegit/nodegit#1347
