hi..I am also getting error while installing memwatch package.. tried manually also but no luck. getting npm rebuild issue/error

[rajeshshegokar111]

[jwerre]

This worked for me:

rm -rf node_modules #or whatever the Windows equivalent is
npm cache clean
npm install

[jwerre]

Also, you might want to use memwatch-next

@jwerre so 'memwatch-next' is 'memwatch' but for newer node versions? Is there a doc somewhere that explains this?
