npm error after using n to switch versions

[mpalmerlee]

I've been using n to sucessfully switch node versions (it seems) for the last few days, but I'm having problems now with npm:
module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'npmlog'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
at Module.require (module.js:362:17)

Thanks for your help.

Same thing here.

Getting the same error.

I think it has to do with my manual install of v0.6.19, (since there is no compiled version for mac of 0.6.19, I had to copy files manually to:
/usr/local/n/versions/0.6.19

and I noticed there are files for npm (in 0.8.20) here:
/usr/local/n/versions/0.8.20/lib/node_modules/npm

works for me :s

[bryanchriswhite]

having the same problem node v0.8.22

[malkomalko]

same, but I fixed it by manually running "curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh" once

[csmosx]

+1 from a clean install (manually removed all previous node & npm artifacts), though I installed to /opt/local instead of /usr & exported N_PREFIX accordingly.

Failed on n version 0.8.2 and the latest 0.9.1.

Im using a pc

[CrabDude]

Same issue, $ curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh solved it.

[CrabDude]

Check that, reinstall npm didn't solve it. Had to reinstall node, and n unfortunately doesn't work 100% of the time. =(

[CrabDude]

It looks like the reason for the previous "fix" was that I removed /usr/local/npm (and relaunched my terminal), which caused it to fallback on ~/.npm_prefix/bin/npm which works.

So, I'm assuming this is an npm prefix issue.

[blakeembrey]

Was switching from using nvm to n and the manual curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh fixed the issue for me

[mpalmerlee]

Thanks guys, I was able to fix my issues with:
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

as well.

[mikemoser]

This fixed my issue as well.

Note: If you get "301 Moved Permanently" then try curl -0 -L http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh to follow redirects. Also notice I added sudo before the sudo sh command depending on your users permissions.

[lukeburns]

thank you @mikemoser

[rsgrafx]

thank you @mikemoser

[d0tlab]

[alejandroschmechel]

Thaaanks @mikemoser 👯

[scotttesler]

I'm still having this issue and I'm using the latest version of n. npmconf cannot be found is the error.

[LiamKlyneker]

@mikemoser ty dude! you save me

[FrankFang]

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules fixed my issue as well.

[Narven]

thanks @mikemoser

[felipesousa]

@mikemoser Thank's! 👍

[dznet]

Not work for me. what wrong?

[maxrimue]

@dznet I think your problem is just that the install.sh file requires administrator rights, so sudo ./install should solve it

[dznet]

I try it. but dont solve for me

[maxrimue]

@dznet I have no idea what you are doing there as you don't give any context, but yes, your problem is solved, that one is a new one, a module is missing, inside a Node.js project you can call npm install to install its dependencies/modules. Please note that these problems are not caused by or have to deal with n.

[dznet]

@maxrimue sorry. i try run test Node.js project with mongodb
i also try ##npm install "module_name''
and other things via inet don't work for me.
what an information i will give you?

[maxrimue]

I think your problem is that your app is looking for "mongobd", it's called
"mongodb" though

I had this problem too, because I was logged in as root. I just su to another user account, and the problem disapeared, that was kinda magic.
