    copied!<p>I'm trying to install <a href="https://github.com/peterbraden/node-opencv" rel="noreferrer">opencv</a> for node. I don't think this has anything to do with opencv directly, rather it has to do with node-gyp. I had success in installing opencv on my mac but when I try to do the exact same on Ubuntu server I get the following error after doing 'npm install opnecv':</p> <pre><code>npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/opencv npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/opencv &gt; opencv@0.0.7 preinstall /home/demo/node_modules/opencv &gt; node-gyp rebuild gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: "pre" versions of node cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead gyp ERR! stack at install (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/install.js:69:16) gyp ERR! stack at Object.commands.forEach.self.commands.(anonymous function) [as install] (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/node-gyp.js:56:37) gyp ERR! stack at getNodeDir (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:181:20) gyp ERR! stack at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:101:9 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:538:7) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:96:17) gyp ERR! stack at maybeClose (child_process.js:638:16) gyp ERR! stack at Process._handle.onexit (child_process.js:680:5) gyp ERR!
