Unable to install module 'now' due to 'node-proxy' failing to install

[holonx2]

Dear Nodesters,

I have been attempting to install a module called 'now' (http://nowjs.com/), and I used the nodester command (nodester npm install <appname> <package names>) - but it fails. One of the modules it requires is called node-proxy. Apparently this module fails to install because it requires a compiled component... if I try and install this (node-proxy) using the command I get the same error.

Here is the error message:

$ nodester npm install waysphere node-proxy

nodester info installing to app: waysphere

I had a similar error message on Windows (on my machine), I got it working by manually downloading a version with a pre-compiled component and sticking it in the node_modules folder. Of course, this won't work on nodester because it's not running Windows (I'm assuming). 

If anyone can give me any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Basically I just need to get the module 'now' installed. I hope it will be possible on Nodester, as I like it :)

Thank you very much!
