can not install node-validator via npm

[craigcosmo]

"npm install validator" will not work.

I'm using npm 0.3.18
node 0.4.7

Can you provide some more information?

Does NPM output an error? If so, what's the output?

You may need to run npm with root privileges. Try running sudo npm install validator

[craigcosmo]

the error:

[root@localhost nodejs]# npm install validator
npm info it worked if it ends with ok

Doesn't look like a validator-specific issue. Try installing another library, e.g. npm install express

yep the problem is from my end. Thanks for helping!
