Im trying to install express using npm, running this code:

npm install express mongoose jade less expresso

But i keep getting this error,

> make deps/jscoverage/node-jscoverage

sh: make: command not found

npm ERR! expresso@0.9.2 preinstall: `make deps/jscoverage/node-jscoverage`
npm ERR! `sh "-c" "make deps/jscoverage/node-jscoverage"` failed with 127
npm ERR! Failed at the expresso@0.9.2 preinstall script.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the expresso package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR!     make deps/jscoverage/node-jscoverage

I searched a lot and can’t seem to find the answer. Cheers.

    You don’t have make, you must install it (it’s a part of gcc).

    If you’re on a Debian-based linux distribution:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential

    If you’re on Mac OS X you must install XCode and then install its Command Line Tools:

    Install XCode 4 then open it, Got to Preferences -> Downloads -> Components -> Click on Command Line Tools and then click on its Install button.

    And I just hope you’re not on Windows, because I won’t be able to help you hehe 😛

    Hope this helps!
