Newbie question . . fetch_kindle.js

People,

This looks like a very low volume list so I guess if there is no response I should try the main Fedora user list . .

Anyway, I am trying to get this working:

https://gist.github.com/yangchenyun/a1c123935d82f5e25d57

on F25 x86_64

and I am getting a sqlite3 error so I did:

dnf install nodejs-sqlite3

with no improvement - I did try:

npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source

but got a whole lot of errors and in any case, I would like to stick to just RPMs if I can . .

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Phil.

If you want help with an error then the first step is to tell the people 
you're asking what the error is.

I suspect that you just haven't linked the modules you need to your 
current working directory - node will not search the global modules for 
you so you need "npm link sqlite3" to make it available to your program.

Quite right - I should have done that . .

Very good!  I had to also install and link the osenv module as well but 
then the script starting working fine - many thanks!

So is it OK to keep asking Newbie questions here or is this list more 
about the technical details of getting nodejs and related modules 
running in the Fedora environment?
