NodeBB 0.7.0-dev fails to install

Affixes

Hi,

I've been trying to install the latest NodeBB dev version for quite some time today, and seem to fail at both an existing and fresh installation.

Following both the steps for upgrading and installing here, I've practically tried every possible combination now:

Upgrading from 0.6.x to 0.7.0 via the instructions in the docs
A new installation via the instructions in the docs
A new installation on a completely new VPS with the instructions in the docs
A new installation, on Ubuntu (Instead of Debian), following this guide

Sometimes I can't even npm install due to some HTTP error, though most of the time the following error occurs when I try to ./nodebb setup:

module.js:356
Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);
^
Error: /home/webserver/web/blockify.us/public_html/forums/node_modules/mmmagic/build/Release/magic.node: undefined symbol: node_module_register

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Node version: 0.12.1
NPM version: 2.5.1

Fixed. Turned out to be a problem with my node/npm version.

If you can post the steps you took to resolve the problem it might help others who run into the same issue.

Same problem. My forum is now down completely. Please advise on how you fixed OP.

Anyone else can help, here's my errors.

More errors, from ./nodebb dev

(Had to screenshot, forum is flagging pasted one up as spam on Akismet)

@Affixes - any help on how you achieved it? I'm sitting with a dead website here.

It seems mmmagic is the problem, I'm absolutely stuck. Short of reinstalling the forum, I'm out of ideas.

Why not use older versions of Node.js, NPM and stable release of NodeBB (26/03/2015)?
