Problems with "npm" & "mithril"

[LocutusOfPenguin]

Hi,
when i try to install the code (following the docu), i get an error concerning mithril

npm ERR! Error: No compatible version found: mithril@'github:ornicar/mithril.js#v0.2.0'
npm ERR! Valid install targets:
npm ERR! ["0.1.2","0.1.3","0.1.4","0.1.12","0.1.13","0.1.0","0.1.16","0.1.17","0.1.18","0.1.19","0.1.20","0.1.21","0.1.22","0.1.23","0.1.24","0.1.25","0.1.26","0.1.27","0.1.28","0.1.29","0.1.30","0.1.31","0.1.32","0.1.33","0.1.34-beta.0","0.1.34","0.2.0"]

btw: i changed package.json from 1.0.0 to 0.2.0 but it doesnt work either way.
Not using npm at all, so please help what to do.
Thanks

Just as a reminder:
My problem still exists :-(

I had the same issue. It turned out that my version of npm was less than the minimum required. You may need to bypass your package manager and install npm manually as I did.
