Newbie help - installation issues on Yosemite.

[Pj]

Hello,

I'm new to node.js and to loopback.

Using a Yosemite on a mac and using nvm with either node 4.11 or 0.12.4 available.

Just tying to follow along a tutorial here:

http://www.toptal.com/nodejs/let-loopback-do-it-a-walkthrough-of-the-node-api-framework-you-ve-been-dreaming-of

I found that the initial install of loopback threw a load of errors.. but eventually seemed to sort itself out.

So I was able to get on with the tutorial and generate models etc.

But when I got to the install of a mongodb connector I got a load of errors again. This time can't seem to get past them.

They seem to be xcode problems and something to do with the iPhoneOS....

Possibly something up with xcode.. but as far as I know its up to date...

I'll include them below and hopefully someone can help me get moving..

Thanks in advance

PJ

Just in case anybody has any interest.

It was the first time I'd had anything to do with Xcode.. haven't need to develop IOS or OSX apps.

So somehow the xcode wasn't installed right.

I uninstalled it and installed the latest version and now things are going fine.

Anybody able to tell me if I shoudl be using node 4.1.1. with this or stick with 0.12.4 as per this :

Thanks
