It installs just fine for me, so I'll close this. I'm happy to help with getting you to install it tho..

How did you install node?
rm -rf /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/forever /Users/kidskilla/tmp/npm-* should help.

[maxim-grishaev]

Thank you!

Node was installed via DMG file manually.
I tried to install it with brew, but brew coldn't "brew link node".

Too bad, but your code didn't help either =(

Well, forever installed fine for the first time.
But when I tried to run it appeared that there is no "forever" command in the system.
I even resarted my console, but it didn't help.
After that I tried to remove module and install it again and I saw that errors.

BTW it installed normally on actual FreeBSD and fail at my OS X 10.8.2

I asked my colleague to install forever.
He installed node via brew and then installed forever globally.
And there was the same problem: no forever command in the system.

He uses just the same mac as I do.

Do yourselves a favor, and don't install node with brew. I've never seen more mysterious misconfigurations and random segfaults than with brew installs of node.

The error you're seeing usually indicates an old install that wasn't properly removed, or a bad npm cache. Try using npm cache clear, removing the forever part of that path, and trying again.

[maxim-grishaev]

Thanks, got it about brew.

I've also discovered that there was a file ~/tmp
When I deleted it installation finished just fine.

But still there is no "forever" command in my system.

This is most likely brews fault. Just use the installer from nodejs.org/download

[maxim-grishaev]

Well, there is no problem with brew -- I didn't use it for node and installed node with dmg.
NPM threw error because of ~/tmp FILE instead of folder, that I already deleted.
Now the problem is that after "npm i forever -g" there is no forever command in the system.

You should make sure the appropriate things are in your $PATH

[maxim-grishaev]

OK, could you tell me where and what things should I see? =)

[indexzero]

Run:

echo $PATH

You should make sure that /usr/local/share/npm/bin is in there. If not add something like this to your .profile or .bash_profile

export PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin

[maxim-grishaev]

Yep, it helped. Thank you!
