npm not installing anything on a certain windows machine

npm not installing anything on a certain windows machine - node.js

i have a weird issue with nodejs' npm on one of my windows machines. I cannot install any module, i always get errors.
Let's take the typescript module as an example. On one windows 7 machine (running npm 1.4.3), when i install typescript, it looks like this:
C:\Users\myuser>npm install -g typescript
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/typescript
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/typescript
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/typescript/-/typescript-1.0.0.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/typescript/-/typescript-1.0.0.tgz
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\tsc -> C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm
ode_modules\typescript\bin\tsc
typescript#1.0.0 C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\typescript
So, it looks Ok, everything works as expected.
Now, on my other windows machine, also running Windows 7, also running npm 1.4.3, it looks like this when i try to install typescript:
C:\Users\sbusse>npm install -g typescript

^CBatchvorgang abbrechen (J/N)? j
I stopped the process here, because it will run forever. Seriously, i let it run for 20 minutes and it wouldn't stop.
Now i have tried numerous things. Obviously de- and reinstalling nodejs, cleaning cache, deleting the whole npm and/or node_modules folders, installing older versions of nodejs and npm, but no luck. I also experimented with using the 32 or 64 bit versions of nodejs, but it made no difference. The windows machines also have the same state of windows updates installed. There is definitely something wrong with my second windows machine, but I don't know how to debug and find the cause. I am out of ideas.
Does anyone know, what the issue might be? Thanks in advance.

Use the following process:
Compare the npm config on both machines:
npm config ls -l
Compare the environment path on both machines:
echo $env:path
Reduce the global package installation configuration:
The Node installer installs, directly into the npm folder, a special piece of Windows-specific configuration that tells npm where to install global packages. When npm is used to install itself, it is supposed to copy this special builtin configuration into the new install. There was a bug in some versions of npm that kept this from working, so you may need to go in and fix that up by hand. If %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\npm\npmrc does not exist, you'll need to create it yourself. (%APPDATA% defaults to :\Users\\AppData\Roaming). All you need to put in that file is:
prefix=${APPDATA}/npm
Incidentally, if you would prefer that packages not be installed to your roaming profile (because you have a quota on your shared network, or it makes logging in or out from a domain sluggish), you can put it in your local app data instead:
prefix=${LOCALAPPDATA}/npm
...as well as copying %APPDATA%\npm to %LOCALAPPDATA%\npm (and updating your %PATH%, of course).
Everyone who works on npm knows that this process is complicated and fraught, and we're working on making it simpler. Stay tuned.

npm not ok

You need to upgrade your version of node. node v0.6 is really old and not only is the version of npm you're using too old to support the caret (^) used in version specifiers, but nan does not support node v0.6 anyway.

Not able to install bower using npm

I have Node.js installed on my system (v0.10.26) and I am trying to install the bower package manager. But I am not able to install. I keep getting an error. I placed my npm-debug.txt with jsfiddle for your reference.

How can I fix this?

The is you have to specify the path to which bower should be installed. The path should be added either in your zshrc file or your bashrc file like this.
export PATH =/usr/local/lib/node_modules/:$PATH

What is causing the failure?

Yes, it looks like you are missing make on your system. Have you installed xcode command line tools?
That should install make and other useful dev tools for you.
Here is another SO question related to installing xcode CLI tools :: Xcode 4.4 and later install Command Line Tools

I think this is the error that is halting my progress as I try to install express and dependencies. This log is too confusing for me. There are a number of warning, so I can't work out which is the specific one that's causing problems.

Deleting the specific directory works for me. It will be
C:\\Users\\Phucker\\AppData\\
npm-cache\\character-parser\\1.0.2\\package
in your case. ( I used node.js for cordova installation).

Heroku Deploy Getting 404 Error

We are trying to deploy an app to heroku and having some issues with the MongoDB dependency returning a 404 error.
I ran into the same problem earlier, I believe the resource was updated or down before. Here is the npm log we get from heroku.
