Troubleshooting
---------------
**Installing [libpostal](https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal):**
node-postal is a thin wrapper around libpostal, which is written in C. Installing node-postal with npm will not install libpostal as a dependency. The install steps described above will install it in standard locations for your OS. For OS X and Linux, that's `/usr/local/include` and `/usr/local/lib`. node-postal will look in these locations for the C libraries. If you have problems installing node-postal, check there for recently installed libpostal libraries.
**Downloading Large Files**
The ```make``` process downloads ~3GB of data (these are production-quality machine learning models, the kind Google engineers get to use). Make sure the --datadir argument to ```configure```, which requires an absolute path, has enough room to accommodate the models. If you get errors after downloading, e.g.:
```
make[3]: *** [all-local] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
```
there may be problems with subsequent install steps. Occasionally something will go wrong and it will give up downloading. Once downloading is complete, the make script will unpack the langauge_classifier.tar.gz.X files. If you see these files, your download may have stopped. Try running the make script again.
