npm说我有未满足的请求依赖项

Question

I'm trying to install the express module: npm install -g express

The output shows:

root@Rx:~/node-v0.10.36# npm install -g express
npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-registry-client/node_modules/couch-login requires request@'~2.9.202' but will load

In fact it says this whenever I install things with -g

I tried npm install request and it seems successful but didn't fix the issue, so I tried npm install -g request with the same unmet dependency error.

This is a freshly compiled version of npm and nodejs from the official site. Running latest debian. What's wrong here?

Answer 1

So, I'm not sure why this worked or which command did it but I ran these and it started working:

npm install -g npm npm update npm update -g

I got the same dependency errors while I ran some of those so I'm not sure which fixed it but after trying to install express again, there were no errors.
