Cannot find module 'bluetooth-hci-socket'

[jdpigeon]

This error is encountered upon try to build the app from source on a new installation of Ubuntu 16 running Node 10.

The solution appears to be two part:

1. Downgrade node (I was successful with v8.11.1). This is trivial with nvm. Cannot install on node 10 noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket#84

2. Install python 2 and make sure the node is configured to point to this installation. This is necessary in order for node-gyp to work, which builds native dependencies such as bluetooth-hci-socket. Support for Python 3 nodejs/node-gyp#1337

bluetooth-hci-socket is a dependence on bleat. bleat has been deprecated for webbluetooth. #77 aims to remove these dependencies. final testing needs to be done on Windows; it has been updated to support webbluetooth in the latest electron

closing bc of #131 completion. if this wasn't solved, please reopen
