使用NPM安裝Inotify

Question

我對nodeJS相當陌生，我試圖使用節點軟件包管理器（NPM）安裝名爲inotify的軟件包。

安裝NPM（在OSX獅子）後，我試着用命令安裝inotify的：

sudo npm install inotify

而且我得到以下錯誤：

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

誰能幫我這

inotify模塊不會生成，因爲它找不到inotify_init。這是因爲inotify的不可用在OS X

在OS X上的FSEvents API提供類似的功能，但它是一個完全不同的API。 inotify模塊在這種情況下不起作用。

取決於你正在嘗試做的，fs.watch可能會滿足您的需求。它抽象了平臺的差異：

• On Linux systems, this uses inotify .
• On BSD systems (including OS X), this uses kqueue .
• On SunOS systems (including Solaris and SmartOS), this uses event ports.
• On Windows systems, this feature depends on ReadDirectoryChangesW .
