I'm new to this. I would like to use Grunt to run do some image optimalization. But I can't get it installed for some reason.
I've installed Homebrew by copying this in terminal:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
I've also installed node on my system (by downloading the .pkg and installing it).
When I check if Homebrew and Node are installed I get this:
Joost:~ jvd$ which brew
/usr/local/bin/brew
Joost:~ jvd$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
When I try to install Grunt by using this code: npm install -g grunt-cli i get (also when I use $ sudo)
Joost:~ jvd$ npm install -g grunt-cli
-bash: npm: command not found
Same goes for: npm update -g npm.
Like I said Im fairly new to this so most of the things I just searched on the web. But can't figure this out. Does somebody know what is wrong?
Thanks!
Joost
This worked for me a couple weeks ago:
$ brew update
$ brew uninstall node
$ brew install node
$ sudo brew postinstall node
Might have to use sudo if you get any access errors. Sometimes installing node through homebrew causes errors. So another alternative would be to uninstall it and download the node.js package and install it yourself without homebrew.

I have npm v 5.6 and I installed node version 10.1 so the current npm doesn't support node version while updating npm I am getting EACCES permission denied error. I tried removing npm directory and updating via several command the npm version is stuck at 5.6. Help!!
Using Ubuntu v16.04 LTS.
I tried installing different nodejs version too but it also doesnt change npm version(npm v5.6).

I'd recommend using a version manager (such as nvm) to install multiple versions of Node.js and switch between them at will.
First off, make sure you have git and the build-essential package installed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git
Then install nvm with cURL (run this command in your terminal):
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
This will clone the nvm repository to ~/.nvm and will make the required changes to your bash profile, so that nvm is available from anywhere in your terminal.
Reload your bash profile:
source ~/.bashrc
and verify the install by typing:
command -v nvm
which should output 'nvm' if the installation was successful.
(if this doesn't work, just close, then reopen your terminal)
And that’s it, nvm is installed and ready to be used.
Now, to download, compile, and install the latest release of Node, run the following from your terminal:
nvm install node
And then in any new shell just use the installed version:
nvm use node
Finally, verify the correct version is being used:
node -v
=> 10.5.0
There's a lot more to using nvm, such as installing multiple Node versions.

I'm trying to install npm on Ubuntu 17.04 but I'm not getting it. I've installed nodejs and nodejs-legacy and when I try to install npm, a message appears saying that npm depends on node-gyp (>= 0.10.9) and won't be installed. If a try to install node-gyp, another dependency appears and successively. Does anybody know how to fix it?
if you use apt-get for install nodejs you can switch version easily:
$ sudo apt-get install npm # install npm
$ sudo npm install -g n # install n nodejs version switcher as global package.
$ sudo n stable # install latest stable version.
install more version: [exmp: 9.1.0]
$ sudo n 9.1.0
reference
I suggest you don't use apt-install to install npm.You can download the bin file from official site.(https://nodejs.org/en/)
Just extract the tar file and setup the path to you system,you can get the latest version!
I installed node with brew 'brew install node', and I get a warning message
'Warning: The post-install step did not complete successfully'.
When I put in node -v, I can indeed see the current version of node, however when I try to find the current version of npm, I get this error.
-bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory
Is the reason that NPM does not exist because the post-install step did not complete successfully ?
Yup, that thing happened to me too. After a lot of searching I came to a solution. I think this would help you.
sudo brew uninstall node
brew update
brew upgrade
brew cleanup
brew install node
sudo chown -R myusername /usr/local
brew link --overwrite node
sudo brew postinstall node
Thanks!!
I am trying to remove the package download of npm and node that I installed to install them with Homebrew instead. However I am having great difficulty in doing this. How can I get the package version of node.js and npm totally removed from my Mac so I can install the Homebrew version?
Note: I have tried sudo npm rm --global node however I get the error sudo: npm: command not found
check the link below for uninstalling node/npm
How do I uninstall nodejs installed from pkg (Mac OS X)?
and the brew error is happening due to permmision issue.
Since brew basically don't allow to be executed with sudo so change the directory permission before brew command.
changing permission:
sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local
brew link command:
brew link node
and then you can use npm or node commands.
Why wont my jslint scan a file in bash?
On a fresh install of kubuntu
I installed node
sudo apt-get install node
Then
sudo apt-get install npm
Then
sudo npm install jslint -g
All installs worked well with no errors
my issue comes when I type: I use tab to auto complete
a#a:~/Desktop$ jslint test.js
a#a:~/Desktop$
it does nothing just creates a new line why? the file clearly has errors
PS proof it all installed
a#a:~/Desktop$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25
a#a:~/Desktop$ npm -v
1.3.10
The issue was that I had installed node and not nodejs as they are two different thing
sudo apt-get install nodejs
