用NPM安装Inotify

Question

我对nodeJS非常陌生，我正在尝试使用(NPM)安装一个名为inotify的包。

安装NPM (在OSX上)之后，我尝试使用以下命令安装inotify：

sudo npm安装

我得到了以下错误：

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/inotify
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/inotify

> inotify@0.2.2 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/inotify
> node-waf configure build

有人能帮我解决这个问题吗

inotify模块不会构建，因为它找不到inotify_init。这是因为inotify在OS上不可用。

OS上的FSEvents API提供了类似的功能，但它是一个完全不同的API。inotify模块在这种情况下无法工作。

根据您要做的事情，fs.watch可能适合您的需要。它抽象出平台之间的差异：

在Linux系统上，它使用inotify.

• On BSD系统(包括OS )，它使用kqueue.

• On SunOS系统(包括Solaris和SmartOS)，它使用事件端口。
