When I'm trying to Cylon example in VM.

The same error occur.

This is because the node-usb npm package has been updated a lot while the 'aerogel' package has not.
In the package.json for aerogel you will notice it says "usb": "*" under "dependencies" which basically means "depend on latest version".
However the latest version as of now is 1.0.6 and has a lot of breaking changes since two years ago when aerogel was last updated.

The quick fix for this is to just change "usb": "*" to "usb": "0.2.0" and then reinstall the packages by deleting the node_modules folder and running

Code: Select all

$ npm install

However you will likely run into some more problem because you are using a later version of node and thus a later version of node-gyp. So you will have to downgrade node to 0.10.0 in order to successfully run '$ npm install' on the old node-usb package.
The easiest way to do this is to use node version manager (nvm) and the command

Code: Select all

$ nvm install 0.10.0
