I followed these steps to build my first sailsjs MVC application:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
nodejs -v returns v0.10.25
sudo apt-get install npm
npm -v returns 1.3.10
sudo npm install -g sails
After that i got following errors:
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sails
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/sails
npm WARN engine sails#0.11.3: wanted: {"node":">= 0.10.0","npm":">= 1.4.0"} (current: {"node":"v0.10.25","npm":"1.3.10"})

sh: 1: node: not found
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"

Try sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy , it seems debian maintainers renamed the package to that.
Also you are getting the warning in sails, because you have an unmet dependency version.
If you check the error, where it states which version of npm it needs, it says
"npm":">= 1.4.0" but you have the 1.3.10 version on your system. You need 1.4.0 or newer.
Try
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
To see if that updates the npm
If that does not work, try reinstalling node with the repositories from nodeSource
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Change the 4.x to the desired node version, but i recommend you to install the latest one which is 4.1.0 (I know it works with sails)
I have ubuntu so i can't check, but that should work.
Also check the link below if none of the above worked (Not sure if your question can be considered duplicate)
Cannot install packages using node package manager in Ubuntu
I'm attempting to install the Ushahidi V3 Client. I've been following the install process up until when I need to build the project from the source repo using npm and gulp - both of which I've had zero experience with. Whenever I run sudo npm install in the project directory, the process runs without complaints. However, when I run npm ls to verify that dependencies have been downloaded, I get a bunch of dependencies listed out as being missing.
How do I get npm to resolve all of these dependencies?
System Details
OS Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)
Node JS v0.12.9
NPM v3.5.1
What I've tried
Removing node_modules folder and re-running sudo npm install as referenced in this SO answer for a similar question: npm Gulp dependencies missing, even after running npm install
Uninstalling and reinstalling node and npm
#Strainy, as your research :D
It was a combination of running as sudo and not having the build-essentials.
That's why you should not use sudo npm
Follow these steps:
try npm uninstall. and then try npm install.
Also If it still doesn't work.
Try:
npm install -g npm-install-missing
or
npm-install-missing

I had install Node.js 4.2.2
i am trying to install socket.io package using npm install socket.io
but the npm installer just keep running with no error output in console after 30min..
Try to install some another package, mongoose for example. If it also fails try to reinstall npm by
npm install -g npm
Try the following:
npm install -g npm
npm cache clean
npm install socket.io
Also check if you permission to create node_modules folder in the directory you run npm.
You can downgrade your nodejs to v.4.2.1 for example, don't forget to clean npm cache after that, and then run npm install command.
First try to remove these packages and then install. Like
npm remove socket.io
Then
npm install socket.io
may be the incomplete installed files are blocking it to install properly
You need to update your npm anyway.
Try from link install:
curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh
Or you can compile it with make if you clone sources from github
I am completely stuck.
I have tried using the guide on http://www.jakenovak.com/installing-phonegap-on-ubuntu-13-10-with-local-android-package-building/
Then I tried using the latest ppa via:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
but whatever I attempt to install phone gap via
sudo npm install -g phonegap
or
sudo npm install -gf phonegap
I get the error:
npm http GET http://registry.npmjs.org/phonegap
npm http 304 http://registry.npmjs.org/phonegap
npm http GET http://registry.npmjs.org/phonegap/-/phonegap-3.3.0-0.19.5.tgz

npm ERR! TypeError: Arguments to path.resolve must be strings
npm ERR! at Object.exports.resolve (path.js:313:15)

This seems like an npm error but I am not sure how to resolve it.
Any help would be very welcome.
Thanks,

Okay I managed to figure this out. It was a duplication error on my part. I had two versions of npm installed. Version 1.1 etc which kept producing the error, when I switched to the correct version 1.3.24 this error resolved itself. I am guessing that simply upgrading npm resolves this issue.
I can't install any node module from the npm.
npm install socket.io
The above command resulted to below output, it is not able to install socket.io
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/socket.io

My NodeJS Version is :

I had this issue with npm v1.1.4 (and node v0.6.12), which are the Ubuntu 12.04 repository versions.
It looks like that version of npm isn't supported any more, updating node (and npm with it) resolved the issue.
First, uninstall the outdated version (optional, but I think this fixed an issue I was having with global modules not being pathed in).
sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm
Then enable nodesource's repo and install:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Note - the previous advice was to use Chris Lea's repo, he's now migrated that to nodesource, see:
https://chrislea.com/2014/07/09/joining-forces-nodesource/
https://nodesource.com/blog/chris-lea-joins-forces-with-nodesource
From: here
https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/2119
I had to execute the command below:
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
However, that will make npm install packages over an insecure HTTP connection. If you can, you should stick with
npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
instead to install over HTTPS.
I'm on Ubuntu. I used apt-get to install node. Npm was not included in that package, so it had to be installed separately. I assumed that would work, but apparently the npm version in the Ubuntu distribution was outdated.
The node wiki has this instruction:
Obtaining a recent version of Node or installing on older Ubuntu and other apt-based distributions may require a few extra steps. Example install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
After that, npm was already included and worked perfectly.
For me, it's usually a proxy issue, and I try everything:
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
npm config set strict-ssl false
npm config set proxy http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
set HTTP_PROXY=http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
export http_proxy=http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080
npm --proxy http://myusername:mypassword#proxy.us.somecompany:8080 \
--without-ssl --insecure -g install
You also need to install software-properties-common for add-apt-repository to work.
so it will be
sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
One thing that has worked for me with random npm install errors (where the package that errors out is different under different times (but same environment) is to use this:
npm cache clean
And then repeat the process. Then the process seems to go smoother and the real problem and error message will emerge, where you can fix it and then proceed.
This is based on experience of running npm install of a whole bunch of packages under a pretty bare Ubuntu installation inside a Docker instance. Sometimes there are build/make tools missing from the Ubuntu and the npm errors will not show the real problem until you clean the cache for some reason.
This problem is due to the https protocol, which is why the other solution works (by switching to the non-secure protocol).
For me, the best solution was to compile the latest version of node, which includes npm
apt-get purge nodejs npm
git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node ~/local/node
cd ~/local/node
./configure
make
make install
There are now official instructions from joyent (primary nodejs backer). For Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
For other unix distributions, osx and windows see the link. Note this will install both node and npm.
The only thing that worked for me on Elementary OS Luna, a Ubuntu Fork. I am on x86 architecture. I tried all the answers here but finally decided to install it from source.
First, make sure its not installed using the package manager:
sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm -y
I went to the download page to lookup the latest source & download it, http://nodejs.org/download/. You can use curl, wget or your browser to get it:
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.34/node-v0.10.34.tar.gz
tar -xvf node-v0.10.34.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.34
./configure
make
sudo make install
The make might take a while. When done, you should have node and npm installed and working in your /usr/local/bin directory which should be already on your path. You should verify where it lives:
which npm node
I also had to change the permissions to get it to work:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
If it didn't work check your path:
echo $PATH
Note that installing it this way, it will not be managed by apt-get package manager. Cheers!
Recently I had this problem after upgrading node.js (and inevitably npm) to the newest version:
> npm --version
< 2.0.0-alpha-5
Note: I didn't ask for an unstable version, I just got it after brew install npm on OSX.
Downgrading npm fixed the problem for me.
The easiest way to install the stable npm is npm install -g npm but it might not work under some circumstances and downgrade of node.js might be needed then.
The below method worked for me, Kudos to github user : midnightcodr
Make sure You remove any nodejs/npm packages already installed.
sudo apt-get purge nodejs
sudo apt-get purge npm
Now Install Node js using the command below( Thanks to midnightcodr on github)
curl -L https://raw.github.com/midnightcodr/rpi_node_install/master/setup.sh | bash -s 0.10.24
Note that you can invoke node with command node and not nodejs.
Once node is installed , Install npm
sudo apt-get install npm
It could be that the npm registry was down at the time or your connection dropped.
Either way you should upgrade node and npm.
I would recommend using nave to manage your node environments.
https://npmjs.org/package/nave
It allows you to easily install versions and quickly jump between them.
for raspberry pi I found and modified a solution I found
here is what I ran
sudo su -
cd /opt
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.28/node-v0.10.28-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz
tar xvzf node-v0.10.28-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz
ln -s node-v0.10.28-linux-arm-pi node
chmod a+rw /opt/node/lib/node_modules
chmod a+rw /opt/node/bin
echo 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/node/bin' > /etc/profile.d/node.sh
the only mod I did was change all 10.25 to 10.28 which was the latest linux-arm-pi at the time
#therefromhere's answer is the best one. However Node versions have moved ever onwards and upwards, and the versioning was complicated by the remerge of io.js. Following the steps in his answer, you will end up with Node version 0.10.25 - not the most recent version.
You should still purge any existing node/npm packages with
sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm
and then go and look at the nodesource deb install page at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#debinstall.
All Node.js versions are listed on the above page with the Linux commands to install them. And these packages will work on both Debian and Ubuntu.
P.S. If you want to run Node v4.4 or higher on Ubuntu Precise or Debian Wheezy, you should review the information about running on older distros.
P.P.S. If your apt-get is failing, the script will not complete (Google references were failing my apt-get update). You should see messages about the NodeSource signing key being added to your keyring and a final message instructing you to Run 'apt-get install nodejs' to install Node.js.
P.P.P.S. npm is installed with node. Once installed, you can update to the latest npm with sudo npm install npm -g
For people having this issue from a company network which implement a security system that use a mitm for https traffic, you can configure npm to use your company certificate.
npm config set cafile 'path/to/certif-file'
See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/using-npm/config#cafile
But don't use configs like strict-ssl=false or setting the registry to http://. This is not a secure way of working.
