node-hid: NPM install fails

I install libusb-dev, it used to work before, but few people reported me that it fails to install*; I installed it myself: node-hid@0.5.2 install: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Hi @6pm, that is a warning from npm (specifically the node-pre-gyp tool) as it’s looking for a pre-built binary. If it doesn’t find one (and there often won’t be especially for Linux or newer versions of Node), then npm will use the node-gyp tool to build node-hid for your platform.
