How to install from source?

[mustafaakin]

I cloned the repo but I do never installed it from a git repo before, so what I should be doing? I need this because it gives "Cannot find xterm" error and as I see the best way to fix this is to install from source (is npm package outdated?)

[1] Download the source code.
[2] Extract it.
[3] npm install /path/to/directory

Try re-installing from npm now. If that still doesn't work, give npm install https://github.com/mscdex/node-ncurses/tarball/v0.4.0 a try.
