I’m having the following issue/error after running this command “npm install” trying to install snowboy.
If anyone has found solutions to this error, please please PLEASE let me know.

@Ameyalgudkar there is a multi-step procedure in the AwesomeAlexa README.md file for install, you have to follow that

@sdetweil I did follow all the steps, and now I am getting stuck at this npm install step for installing dependencies. namely “snowboy” which is required for the hotword recognition.
