npm install -g contextify

System Details:

  • Node Version - 5.2.0
  • NPM Version - 3.5.2
  • System - CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

Error I get when trying to install contextify:

YOU DON'T NEED THIS MODULE ON NODE >= 0.12

As of Node 0.12, Contextify has been merged into Node (thanks to @domenic), replacing the native vm module. The code has been improved on since then, so if at all possible, you should use a newer Node and the native vm module. Note that newer versions of JSDOM no longer depend on Contextify.

    But I still need that.. because I am not writing new code.. I am trying to build an existing code.. which depends on that package... – yashdosi Dec 24 '15 at 13:09
  • Then you should remove deps. or update contextify module to support latest node version. *contextify* use nan module, and they'r not suporting node v5 `A header file filled with macro and utility goodness for making add-on development for Node.js easier across versions 0.8, 0.10, 0.12 and 4.` – Nazar Sakharenko Dec 24 '15 at 13:24
  • I am more of a beginner in Node.js could you explain that in a bit more detail? :/ – yashdosi Dec 24 '15 at 13:28

    *contextify* is a c++ extension. Since node use google v8 engine to execute Javascript code, and v8 version 3 (node.js 0.12) not compatible vs. v8 version 4 (node.js 5.0) you can't easily migrate from 0.12 to 5.0. I looked to package.json of `contextify`, and looks like it may work with node v4. So, you have 4 ways: 1. Try to install node v4, and run your application. 2. Update your js code, and get rid of `contextify` dependency 3. Update `contextify` module to support latest node version (c++ and v8 knowledge) 4. Continue to use node v0.10 - v0.12 – Nazar Sakharenko Dec 24 '15 at 13:51
