npm install Errors on mac 10.7.5 - node.js

Question

I am learning mongodb and as part of my learning process, I installed mongodb, nodejs and npm. When I execute the instruction npm install, this is the error I get:
me$ npm install
npm WARN package.json # No repository field.
npm ERR! Darwin 11.4.2
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v4.2.2
npm ERR! npm v2.14.7
npm ERR! version not found: mongodb#3.2.1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at:
npm ERR! <https://github.com/npm/npm/issues>
npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! /Users/me/Sites/mongodb/chapter1/npm-debug.log
This is the package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "gulp test",
"watch": "gulp watch"
},
"dependencies": {
"async": "0.9.0",
"mongodb": "3.2.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"gulp": "3.8.11",
"gulp-mocha": "2.0.1",
"mocha": "2.2.4"
}
}
I created a database called mongodb so it can see it but, I don't know what is wrong. I read the npm install errors" but nothing points to the similar error so I can solve it myself. Please, help !!

Answer 1

npm ERR! version not found: mongodb#3.2.1
It means the version 3.2.1 of the mongodb package doesn't exist (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb - currently, last version in 2.1.4).
Just fix the version number in your package.json from:
"dependencies": {
"async": "0.9.0",
"mongodb": "3.2.1"
},
to
"dependencies": {
"async": "0.9.0",
"mongodb": "^2.1.4"
},
Then re-run npm install
