I started to install the chatbot module about a month ago and ran into issues. I posted this log over on the Home Assistance forums thinking that it might be something wrong or missing with the HomeAssistant add-on, but I didn't get any responses other than a couple of other users having the same issue. To my understanding, the npm install should install all of the pre-requisites but from looking at the logs that may not be the case. Below is the log (Edit: I updated with the log from the attempt today). Please let me know if you have any ideas I'm willing to try anything. Thanks in advance.

Its trying to build the software but hasn't got the tools to do so.
What operating system are you running this on?

Running under HassIO on a raspberry pi 3. Node red is running and has been up and running for a while now on the install. I also have several other modules loaded in the Node-red environment. If you need any other info just let me know.

Not all nodes need to be built, but if they do they need the tools to build them.
Not sure how you get them on HassIO, its probably a question for their forum.
How to do it on Raspbian is listed [https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi](https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi)

Awesome! Thank you for the response. I will add these notes to the post over in the HassIO forums and see if I get any bites there. I am wondering if there is an add-on that they have to include these tools, since it does not have access to the command line. I will definitely check that out thanks for the info. What tools specifically am I looking for?

Well your error post says it can't find `make` , the post I linked to includes the following:
> On really minimal Debian installs you may need to run sudo apt-get install build-essential before running the script so that the serialport builds and installs OK. This is optional.

Sometimes you also need the python2.7-dev package, but generally build-essential should be enough.
