尝试安装eslint时出现“无效版本：0.0.1alpha1”错误

Question

Trying to install eslint in recent versions of node (v5.5.0 or 5.9.0).

Running npm install --save-dev eslint on node v5.9.0 (npm v3.7.3) gives me an error:

Invalid Version: 0.0.1alpha1

An ancient version of node (node v0.10.43, npm v1.4.29) installs it without a problem.

Do you know what the problem might be and how to fix it?

UPDATE: Just made sure that eslint loads on node v4.4.1 that is recommended on the Node site as an LTS release. The npm version is 2.14.20.

Answer 1

The error occurred because one of the dependencies of eslint must have used an invalid semver spec. The version should have been 0.0.1-alpha1 for it to be valid.

I've installed eslint successfully using Node 5.9.0 and npm 3.7.3 so the module's version must have been updated.
