problem with npm install

[mgobill]

I seem to be running into a problem when with setting this up on a raspberry pi 2 with wheezy. Following the readmi, after $ sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev and $ sudo apt-get install npm, I attempt $ npm install but get errors. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

@mgobill Your node and npm are extremely old, try updating them.

Here's how you can update npm

sudo npm install -g npm

I got the same error. i did the update and now when I try to do npm isntall within dasher I get:
pi@raspberrypi:~/dasher $ npm install
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

How do I fix this?

[mgobill]

thanks for the replies! i think @legotheboss was right. i tried to update npm, ended up reinstalling it.

now when i run
npm install
it seems to work. afterwards though, when i run
sudo npm run start
i get
`> dasher@1.1.1 start /home/pi/projects/dasher

@tacofart

Run these commands:

sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.4.4

@mgobill

Go to the dasher directory, cd /home/pi/projects/dasher
Run the same commands as above, but then run sudo npm install

[mgobill]
