Node Inspector Installation fails on Ubuntu

Question

I was trying to install Node Inspector in Ubuntu using:

sudo npm install -g node-inspector

The attempted installation ends with :

ws@0.4.31 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-inspector/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

And a prompt.

Node version : 0.11.9, npm version: 1.3.17

Answer 1

Try install ws :

sudo npm install -g ws

And try install node-inspector :

su
npm install -g node-inspector

Answer 2

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
npm install node-inspec
