EACCESS error while using npm install

Question

I'm making a node script to deploy meteor app to my server; Once uploaded the package and unzipped, I get EACCESS error while using npm;

since on the server there is nvm installed as root, I run:

sudo /root/.nvm/v0.10.31/bin/npm install

in the programs/server;

the output is:

npm WARN package.json meteor-dev-bundle@0.0.0 No description
npm WARN package.json meteor-dev-bundle@0.0.0 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json meteor-dev-bundle@0.0.0 No README data

can someone help to figure this out?

Answer 1

My guess is that fibers is installed with another version of node, hence v0.11.12 - since the log is showing it in the middle.

Try sudo npm uninstall fibers maybe sudo npm uninstall fibers -g and then npm install fibers to compile again fibers in your wanted node environment.

I have had some similar problems when I have packaged the meteor app. When you'd do that, Meteor outputs a Readme.md explicitly telling you to reinstall one or two dependencies.
