   I've been able to compile just fine with the instructions in the README. Please update the Wiki or the README via a pull request.

   I get this error from simply using npm install --save nodegit.

   I fully expect to be able to just use this after using npm install

   @airtonix this is a native node module, meaning it's more than just JavaScript, fix those expectations as we cannot guarantee this module will install "simply" on every single platform and every single version of Node.

   I've got the same issues:
   npm install nodegit
node index.js

   ...where index.js has the following content:

   var nodegit = require('nodegit');
   

   Running on Debian 7 64-Bit (Linux 3.2.41-2)
   /edit: same experience under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-Bit (Linux 3.2.0-23-generic)

   Result:

   Cannot find module '../build/Debug/nodegit'
       at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
       at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

   The solution from stephanMettler doesn't work with me as it seems installing cmake (which was not installed during first nodegit-installation and does not seem to be required anymore) does not have any influence on this error.

   @tbranyen Then this project is fairly pointless if it doesn't work across mutliple platforms... I may as well just run the git binary through a shell process.

   We support a hefty prebuilt matrix that includes all common operating systems and environments that the team is using. If you have a compiler on your machine you can compile the project from source.

   Since, as I previously stated, we cannot guarantee working prebuilts for every single platform and architecture, I'm going to lock this issue from more noise.

   You can find instructions on building from source here: http://www.nodegit.org/guides/install/from-source/

   I'll just clarify a bit here. Code is being added (or may have already been added, I think) by @tbranyen to change this output since it's very misleading, but this is the issue:

   For some reason, The release build of the module is failing to load. We would try catch around loads, so if you built for debug instead, it would fail to load the release version, and in the catch load the debug version. Some other issue is causing release to not load, so it catches and tries to load debug, and fails (naturally, since it built for release). The new system only falls back to debug if the release module was not found (flat out doesnt exist, not some other error), otherwise it will output the meaningful error.

   @airtonix you might find that you'll get better support (be it in help with an error, or expanding our prebuilt matrices) if you A) give us any meaningful info to go off of (See here #521, or @SargTeX's response) and B) stop acting like you idolize Torvalds' social output.

   @SargTeX, see my comments in #521 re: gcc, and either get back to me there, or hop into our gitter room and we'll get you all sorted 👍
