I'm using a fresh installed CentOS 6.4 (x86-64) with the EPEL repository.

$ yum install nodejs ... $ node -v v0.10.5

So far, so good, but when I try to install npm, I'll get this error message:

$ yum install npm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de * epel: mirror.fraunhofer.de * extras: centos.psw.net * updates: centos.psw.net Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package npm.noarch 0:1.2.17-5.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: npm(which) < 2 for package: npm-1.2.17-5.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: npm(uid-number) < 1 for package: npm-1.2.17-5.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: npm(tar) < 0.2 for package: npm-1.2.17-5.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: npm(slide) < 2 for package: npm-1.2.17-5.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: npm(semver) < 1.2 for package: npm-1.2.17-5.el6.noarch ...

The complete output is quite big: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Ce3ZJsEB

What should I do? The --skip-broken workaround doesn't seem to be right solution.

Here is the output of yum repolist:

    what is your 'yum repolist'? Commented May 30, 2013 at 16:28
  • @AndreiMikhaltsov I added the output of yum repolist Commented May 30, 2013 at 16:35
  • I think you skipped the part we need to see: --> Processing Dependency: npm(ansi) ... Commented May 30, 2013 at 16:39
  • @AaronCopley I ran the command again. The output is availabe here: pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Ce3ZJsEB (I also edited my post to insert the link.) Commented May 30, 2013 at 16:57
  • What happens when you install nodejs-ansi first? yum install nodejs-ansi Commented May 30, 2013 at 17:04

Package nodejs-ansi from EPEL (nodejs-ansi-0.1.2-7.el6.noarch) is broken.

Try:

wget http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/nodejs-ansi/0.1.2/7.el6.1/noarch/nodejs-ansi-0.1.2-7.el6.1.noarch.rpm yum --enablerepo="epel" install npm ./nodejs-ansi-0.1.2-7.el6.1.noarch.rpm

Solution founded on #epel at irc.freenode.net.

    Solved my problem. But minor typo on "eneblerepo" vs "enablerepo". Commented May 30, 2013 at 22:43
