I developed a little Node.JS app using my macbook. Everything is fine and I'm going to deploy it to Heroku.
git push heroku master command exits with an error:
9045 info install [email protected]

9047 info [email protected] Failed to exec install script

9049 error Failed at the [email protected] install script.
9049 error This is most likely a problem with the fsevents package,
9049 error not with npm itself.
9049 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
9049 error node-gyp rebuild
9049 error You can get their info via:
9049 error npm owner ls fsevents
9049 error There is likely additional logging output above.

Google is my friend, and helps me understanding the problem.
fsevents is a NPM module for Native Access to Mac OS-X FSEvents.
It's been installed on my local machine as a grunt-browserify dependency:
./node_modules/grunt-browserify/node_modules/watchify/node_modules/chokidar/node_modules/fsevents
Heroku (linux) does not need nor support it, of course.
Finally, I just removed node_modules from my deployment.
