Package Exports
- github-node-pre-gyp
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (github-node-pre-gyp) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Configuration
This module is intended to be used with node-pre-gyp. Therefore, be sure to configure and install node-pre-gyp first. After having done that, within package.json
update the binary
properties host
and remote_path
so it matches the following format:
"host": "https://github.com/[owner]/[repo]/releases/download/",
"remote_path": "{version}"
Be sure to replace [owner]
, [repo]
, with actual values,
but DO NOT replace {version}
with actual version.
WARNING: Variable substitutions are not supported on the host
property and on the remote_path
only {version}
placeholder is supported. The value of remote_path
after substitution will become a release tag name. Do not use forbidden git tag characters for version
and remote_path
properties.
