I'm trying to install a project from GitHub and followed the installation instructions. When I run npm install in the project directory it's returning the error results below:

root@server:/var/www/nomp# npm install npm WARN [email protected] package.json: bugs['name'] should probably be bugs['url'] npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/body-parser npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/request npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bignum npm ERR!

Does anybody know the issue? I just installed nodejs and npm so I have no idea why this would happen.

Edit (ran after setting registry):

I also hit into this error. It might be due to my network.

I work out as:

npm --strict-ssl false install <pkg>

This option sets validation on nodejs's CA as optional. I think it has the same effect as Sandile's answer.

I think an issue just like this one has already been answered to some degree here: NPM installation error.

But, to save you some time, try npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

I ran that and then did npm install. Edited OP look at what it returned.
you could try sudo npm install -g npm first to make sure you're using the latest version of npm
I get an error: module.js:472 throw err; Error: Cannot find module '../lib/utils/unsupported.js'

I was having the same kind of problem with the same version of node and npm.

npm ERR! node -v v0.6.12 npm ERR! npm -v 1.1.4

These are the versions that you get with ubuntu using apt-get.

To fix the problem, I removed the old versions:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

This removes node and npm. Then installed the latest:

mkdir ~/node-latest-install cd ~/node-latest-install curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install sudo chmod -R a+rx /usr/local/lib/node_modules

You can remove the install directory when you're done with it. I got the script that I based this on from: https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814 which is linked to from: http://www.joyent.com/blog/installing-node-and-npm/ The article is a little out of date. For instance, npm comes with node now.
