robot-js: robot-js binaries failed to install

UPDATE: If you’re having the same problem, stop reading and just use this package instead. https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs

npm i robot-js --save

> robot-js@1.0.2 install /Users/qashto/Documents/web/qodemate/node_modules/robot-js
> node Native/Install.js

Trying to update robot-js because I just installed node v8.9.1. I get this error, how do I install the binaries manually?

Yeah I’ve been like… sidetracked, sorry 😦

However, the dev branch should have everything you need to compile the entire project easily through node-gyp, the same way you would any regular node addon. The API is also identical to master. I wanted to find some time to close two more issues but time has completely gotten away from me. I’m not sure if it’ll work with Node 9 yet. I’ll try it this weekend.

Sure, I shall and inform ticket number, but glad to see its working at your end.
