I changed the title slightly
I forked the sysinfo plugin to try to add some extra display functionality.
On installation of my forked github version I got errors. I used the How to install a plugin from github using npm or git.
Of course I expected my forked version to be faulty but the original should work fine, I thought.
So then I tried to install the default github version from here: https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-sysinfo
So I went inside node-modules and did a git clone https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-sysinfo, followed by a cd pimatic-sysinfo, followed by a sudo npm install.
I got make errors which basically came down to this:
gyp ERR! build error
