How do I run this code?

[maurus56]

sorry about the stupid question but i tried with the "dualshock-controller" in the terminal thinking it was a standalone and also with "node dualshock-controller" and got this

maurolanzas-MBP:~ maurolanza$ node dualshock-controller
module.js:557
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/maurolanza/dualshock-controller'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:555:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:482:25)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:701:10)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:193:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:617:3

and during instalation:

maurolanzas-MBP:~ maurolanza$ npm install dualshock-controller

Is there any problem with that?

By looking at your error stack, I have to assume you are running this on Mac. Do you have Xcode installed?

Ran into same issue here with node.js v10.0.0 and Xcode 9.4.1 installed. Problem got solved when I switched to node.js v8.5.0 🤔.

What are you trying to do exactly?
Running node dualshock-controller doesn't work because the command tells Node.js to run a file named dualshock-controller located in the current working directory, which in this case doesn't exist. To get started with some examples, check out the examples directory or ds-examples (if you're using a DualShock 4).
