Can't run npm install in an Ember CLI application?

Question

I am setting up an Ember application on a new laptop. I installed node, npm through brew and I also have the Ember CLI. Within the Ember CLI app, I'm trying to do an npm install but when I do, I get this error in the terminal:

npm WARN package.json npm@1.4.21 Non-dependency in bundleDependencies: inherits
npm ERR! Darwin 14.0.0
npm ERR! argv "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v0.10.33

I can't run my projects until this is resolved. What am I missing? I even Googled but couldn't find anything for expresss .

Answer 1

My guess is 'expresss' (with an extra s) is a package on npm that was pulled. The dependency was in fact listed in the package.json file for ember-cli but I don't think anyone ever noticed it until later versions.

Proof: https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/blob/ec8a6ab898599746bddbb8f72f7633c29f0ee95b/package.json#L58

Answer 2

I was able to resolve this issue by uninstalling node and npm completely using brew. Then, installing node.js using the package from nodejs.org. Now, my npm version is 1.4.28. Looks like the issue was caused by the newer npm 2.1.10. Not sure why brew automatically picks up the new npm.

Answer 3

Look in your package.json dependencies section. Looks like a typo.

Answer 4

我遇到了同样的问题，但是通过运行sudo npm install -g ember-cli得到了解决。
