Problem installing express in Node 0.7.10PRE OSX

[jrgleason]

So granted I am doing things a little "cutting edge" and compiling from source, however, once I do I see the following when running sudo npm install -g express.....

sudo npm -g install express

Sorrk guess 7.1 isn't cutting edge but stil..

[caryhaynie]

It looks like commander explicitly doesn't support versions of node >= 7.x. You should probable file a bug with that project: https://github.com/visionmedia/commander.js

yeah open it there and ill update commander to "*".
