Question

I'm trying to install NPM.

I first ran

brew install node

then

curl -O https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh

then

~ % sh install.sh

this is what I get

tar=/usr/bin/tar
    version:
    bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3
    install npm@latest
    fetching: http://registry.npmjs.org/npm/-/npm-2.0.2.tgz

          val = val[f]

    > npm@2.0.2 prepublish /private/var/folders/92/2l_j234x7n7bys14466b4dcr0000gn/T/npm.12852/package
    > node bin/npm-cli.js prune --prefix=. --no-global && rm -rf test/*/*/node_modules && make -j8 doc

    make: Nothing to be done for `doc'.
    /usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
    npm@2.0.2 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
    It worked

I know it says it worked... I'm just trying to find out what the error message means. And see what I can do to fix it.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Although it looks like you got this all sorted out, I would like to answer this to put forward the "official" (npm-supported) way of installing npm on OSX:

• don't use brew ;
• install the "official" node binary from https://nodejs.org/download
• install the latest npm : sudo npm install -g npm@latest

If you install it that way, it is easier to get support on the npm issue tracker at https://github.com/npm/npm
