I tried both npm rebuild and npm install - neither worked.

Can you try to remove the node-modules folder and rerun the npm install?

Is it possible to solve follow as ? Also , please refer what NoahDragon taught .

You can fix this problem by doing this in Mac os:

1. cd hexo installation directory

cd `which hexo`/../..

2. remove installed node modules

rm -rvf node_modules

3. reinstall all dependencies

npm install

if you're in china, please use cnpm i which provides faster installation speed.

Please try reinstall hexo and plugin. For example , you try following emviroment.

• Mac OSX 10.11 (Sorry , I can't tried windows. )
• node v6.9.4
• npm v4.1.1
• hexo-cli@1.0.2

$ nvm install v6.9.4
$ nvm use v6.9.4
$ npm install -g npm
$ npm install -g hexo-cli
$ hexo init hexo694
$ cd hexo694
$ npm install
$ npm install hexo-related-popular-posts --save
$ hexo new sample-post-1
$ hexo new sample-post-2

Can you solve this issue by this way ?

Got the same problem. My setup:

• Mac OSX: 10.11.6
• NodeJS: v7.10.0
• npm: v4.6.1

I use nvm to manage my node versions. Recently I upgraded to v7, and dtrace-provider complained about its compilation.

I tried the following steps:

1. uninstall hexo-cli globally

$ npm uninstall -g hexo-cli

2. then reinstall it

$ npm install -g hexo-cli

Till this step, when I went to my hexo blog folder and ran hexo server, dtrace-provider was still complaining. So I decided to remove all the node_modules and reinstall.

3. under your hexo blog folder (where you have node_modules, public, scaffolds, source and others), remove node_modules

$ rm -rf node_modules

4. then reinstall them all

$ npm install 

You will see dtrace-provider has an installation step during npm install as follows:

> dtrace-provider@0.8.2 install /path/to/your/blog/folder/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> node scripts/install.js

So I think 3 and 4 are the actual steps that resolves dtrace-provider complain.

@levblanc Thank you for the helpful information. I solved this problem by following your advices!

I had to complete all 4 steps to solve the issue on my local machine. Thanks for the info.

@levblanc Thank you, I finally solved.

re-install hexo-cli works

Maybe your Global installation files hasn`t been update, please try to update your hexo-cli with command below:

sudo npm install -g hexo-cli

this solved my problem.

@MikeMMao
Never run npm install -g hexo-cli with sudo. Sometimes it would cause some problem with permission.
