Description

@wooldridge

Make it clear in the documentation that the kerberos library dependency can be problematic during the npm install step, particularly on Windows. This is explained some here:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/kerberos

@MayankBhatnagar89 discovered issues during npm install with the kerberos library and Windows 9. This was solved by making sure the following were installed:

  • Python 2.7
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013

Previously, @ayuwono solved similar issues by installing:

  • x86_64 devel package for glibc

Note: The kerberos library is listed as an optional dependency in package.json. This means users who don't need Kerberos authentication support (the vast majority should not) can skip installation of the kerberos library by running:

npm install --no-optional
