Installing docpad#6.63 error: No compatible version found: taskgroup#'~3.3.7n' - docpad

I'm trying to install docpad and following the guide on: http://docpad.org/docs/install
When I issue the command:
npm install -g docpad#6.63
I get the following npm error:
npm ERR! Error: No compatible version found: taskgroup#'~3.3.7n'
npm ERR! Valid install targets:
npm ERR! ["2.0.0","3.0.0","3.1.0","3.1.1","3.1.2","3.2.0","3.2.2","3.2.3","3.2.4","3.3.0","3.3.1","3.3.2","3.3.3","3.3.4","3.3.5","3.3.6","3.3.7","3.3.8"]
My node version: v0.10.15
My npm version: 1.2.18
I'm running Kubuntu 13.10 with all updates.
I checked if there is an issue reported for this on github, there isn't. Should I report this as an issue or am I doing something wrong?

Same problem here (Kubuntu 13.10).
I sugggest to go back to a previous version of docpad for the moment. On Ubunto/Debian there is another pitfall: some node modules depend on the nodejs executable to be available under node, so you need the additional package nodejs-legacy.
This worked for me:
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
npm install docpad#6.55.6

Bug on DocPad's behalf, that n shouldn't have been there. Now fixed in v6.63.5. Thanks for the report!

how to update npm on macOS

For reasons unknown to me, I haven't been able to update to the latest version of npm on macOS (it works fine on Windows). It displays no error, only 'updated 1 package'.
Using Node.js 8.11.1
node -v
v8.11.1
What version of npm do I have?
$ npm -v
5.6.0
I tried this...
$ npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.37s
And it fails to update.
$ npm -v
5.6.0
Where is npm?
$ which npm
/usr/local/bin/npm
So I try brew...
brew install npm
And it fails...
$ npm -v
5.6.0
*And then I tried this... *
npm install npm#latest -g
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.618s
And it fails...
npm -v
5.6.0
With sudo:
sudo npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.794s
And it fails...
npm -v
5.6.0
This also fails...
sudo npm install npm#latest -g
I followed the directions found on this Q&A, completely removing npm and node from my system and reinstalling them from scratch, and it also fails to update.
Screenshot, per request:
Close the terminal, and then re-open the terminal and running:
$ npm -v
5.6.0
sudo twice:
$ sudo npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.478s
$ sudo npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.434s
Also fails:
$ npm -v
5.6.0
What did I miss? What's going on here?
This works on my mac.
Based on docs https://docs.npmjs.com/troubleshooting/try-the-latest-stable-version-of-npm :
npm install -g npm#latest
There is a note stated on the docs that depends on your installation method, you might addd some sudo.
Upgrading on *nix (OSX, Linux, etc.)
(You may need to prefix these commands with sudo, especially on Linux,
or OS X if you installed Node using its default installer.)
npm install -g npm#latest
works fine!!
and you can also replace the latest for specific versions
like
npm install -g npm#5.6.0
I hope it will help!!!
Perhaps you have already solved this, but here is what I found when I had exactly this issue. I had 2 versions of npm installed.
I verified this as follows:
grep \"version\" ~/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
"version": "6.2.0"
grep \"version\" /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
"version": "5.6.0",
I worked around the issue by updating the path in my bash profile, but would like to know why (how) I ended up with 2 versions. Here is the update:
tail -2 ~/.bash_profile
NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.npm-packages"
PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
In my case, none of the previous answers worked. For me, a working solution was a simple, five-step process.
Make sure (the old version of) npm is installed.
npm -v
If npm is not installed, then install it on the Mac with Node.js.
Globally installed the desired version of npm.
npm install -g npm#latest
This command uses the old version of npm (installed by Node), to globally install the latest version of npm at ~/.npm-global/. Once installed, close and open a new terminal shell.
Remove the old version of npm installed by Node
rm -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/
Sometimes this doesn't work, so I had to go into finder to delete the /npm/ folder.
Make sure to set the correct path variable.
echo $PATH
If ~/.npm-global/bin does not show up between the colons, then update the path variable. Open up ~/.zshrc in a text editor and add the following line. If you don't use zsh, open the profile for your corresponding shell (i.e. ~/.bash_profile)
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.npm-global/bin
Save your changes and close the text editor.
Close and reopen the terminal shell and run npm -v to check that npm is correctly on the latest version.
The reason for updating the path variable is because the npm cli suggests you update npm with npm install -g npm which will install npm at a different location than where Node installs npm originally.
In my case, only the following has helped:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies node
brew install node
EDIT NOV 21: These days, I bypass brew entirely and use "n":
https://www.npmjs.com/package/n
And so I can change between versions too.
I faced the same problem.
You might have already installed the npm version, and now it is time to point the new npm version install. You can do that by following below steps.
sudo nano /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
change "version" : "5.6.0" to "verison": "5.8.0"
In my case, I'm using nvm to manage different versions of node. In order to upgrade npm version, I have to
1 - Install the latest version of npm by navigating to your current
version of node
cd ~/.nvm/versions/node/v10.9.0
npm install npm
or you can probably use
nvm install-latest-npm
2 - Edit $PATH to point to your current version of node
NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.nvm/versions/node/v10.9.0"
PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
On my macOS the homebrew-installed npm did not want to upgrade due to pre-existing link file. I ran the install with --force flag and now things are okay.
$ npm --version
6.14.16
$ npm install -g npm#8
npm ERR! EEXIST: file already exists, symlink ...
$ npm install -g --force npm#8
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
+ npm#8.19.2
$ npm --version
8.19.2
Note also that in my case, no 'sudo' was required, thanks to homebrew. To check if your npm is installed with homebrew, use brew list.
$ brew list | grep node
node#12

Why is my npm install failing on Mac for React Native?

New to React Native I've made sure to install node.js from here and after install I'm told:
Node.js v9.5.0 to /usr/local/bin/node
npm v5.6.0 to /usr/local/bin/npm
I can verify the node version:
node --version: v9.5.0
I ran the documentation's getting started for npm install:
npm install -g create-react-native-app
and also referenced building projects and installed watchman with brew:
watchman 4.9.0
in the terminal ran: npm install -g react-native-cli and terminal: npm start and I get:
grim ~/react-native/react-native npm start
> react-native#1000.0.0 start /Users/grim/React-Native/react-native
> /usr/bin/env bash -c './scripts/packager.sh "$#" || true' --
module.js:557
throw err;

grim ~/react-native/react-native
After research I found NPM, cannot find 'graceful-fs', no matter what I do and in terminal ran:
sudo npm install -g graceful-fs
and get:
+ graceful-fs#4.1.11
added 1 package in 0.678s
but when I run npm install I get:
npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "npm:": npm:babylon#^7.0.0-beta
npm WARN deprecated gulp-util#3.0.8: gulp-util is deprecated - replace it, following the guidelines at https://medium.com/gulpjs/gulp-util-ca3b1f9f9ac5
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/grim/.npm/_logs/2018-02-08T17_08_50_619Z-debug.log
and in the file log it shows:
116 error code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
117 error Unsupported URL Type "npm:": npm:babylon#^7.0.0-beta
so I went to The Problem with gulp-util but when I do:
npm ls gulp-util
I get └── (empty).
Further research I found Why is my npm install not working? but that throws an npm ERR! What am I doing wrong and how can I get npm successfully installed on my Mac running Seirra?
What caused this was trying to test RNTester from the react native repo and it told me:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Edit
Per the suggested answer already tried brew install node and was told with a warning node 9.5.0 is already installed so tried brew link node then prompted:
grim ~/react-native/react-native brew link node
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/node/9.5.0...
Error: Could not symlink bin/node
Target /usr/local/bin/node
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/node'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite node
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run node
so ran brew link --overwrite node.
Edit
Browsing through my files under Users/grim I found a directory with modules in it named node_modules could that be in the wrong location?
Edit
After further research I found Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users and ran:
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
brew uninstall node
brew install node --without-npm
echo prefix=~/.npm-packages >> ~/.npmrc
curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh
modified my ~/.bash_profile with nano:
export PATH="$HOME/.npm-packages/bin:$PATH"
ran npm install and received a missing package.json file so in the terminal did npm init and answered the questions. Went back and pointed to the cloned repo and when I run npm install:
npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "npm:": npm:babylon#^7.0.0-beta
npm WARN deprecated gulp-util#3.0.8: gulp-util is deprecated - replace it, following the guidelines at https://medium.com/gulpjs/gulp-util-ca3b1f9f9ac5
but if I build a new project with react-native init AwesomeProject and npm install I get:
up to date in 0.416s
and I can point into the project and do react-native run-ios and it works but react-native run-android has to be tweaked in the build.bundle from: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3' to classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0"
Use Homebrew for Mac as package manager;
https://brew.sh/
then you can run: brew install node
There are many other utilities on this.
create-react-native app does not work with npm 5.
I had the same problem on Windows and downgraded my npm to 4 you can use npm i -g npm#4 to downgrade.
You may try to use yarn command with -W flag (or --ignore-workspace-root-check) which might be helpful.

Puppeteer installation has error

I have problem with puppeteer. I cannot install it on my debian 8.7.1.
These are the steps:
1.install chrome:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
2.install nodejs & puppeteer:
apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
npm i puppeteer
When I run npm i puppeteer, the errors are:
> puppeteer#0.11.0 install /root/node_modules/puppeteer
> node install.js

I run the command npm config set PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD true to skip download but it wants to download chromium yet.
Any idea to solve this problem?
Try below options;
1) npm config set puppeteer_skip_chromium_download true
2) Add puppeteer_skip_chromium_download=true to .npmrc file where the package.json location
After that run sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
References;
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/2270
https://medium.com/forcit/seo-for-single-page-applications-8543619e1d0c
upgrade your puppeteer version (optional)
npm set strict-ssl false
npm config set puppeteer_skip_chromium_download true
and npm install again.
try
sudo npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true
Error: spawn EACCES
This roughly means that puppeteer cannot execute Chrome due to permissions issues. If you're having troubles I have a docker image here that you can use and interact with remotely. The issue with Chrome and many linux distros is that installation is quite a challenge to solve.
If you have chrome already you can use system variable to skip installation
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md#environment-variables
I faced a similar issue when I was using Puppeteer.
I see two parts to your problem,
1. The inability to download Chromium and getting 403 error other is
2. Error: spawn EACCES problem
I'll start with Error: spawn EACCES problem as it's more subtle and tricky
This is because your debian machine doesn't have the required dependencies installed in order to run Puppeteer. These dependencies differ between distributions(CentOS, Ubuntu/Debian etc...).
Follow these steps,
Install all the dependencies required. You can refer this link for the list, https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#chrome-headless-doesnt-launch-on-unix
After all the dependencies are installed, install npm and configure proxy in .npmrc if you are behind a VPC/proxy.
Then, as usual, go ahead with npm i puppeteer and proceed as always
Next to address your inability to download Chromium problem.
Are you behind a proxy? That was my issue.
I noticed on executing npm i puppeteer the script downloads Chromium from an external URL which from your log is https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/Linux_x64/499413/chrome-linux.zip
npm is unable to download from this external URL because of the proxy blocking it.
The way I solved this issue was by configuring .npmrc file with the proxy settings
npm config set proxy http://<proxy_username>:<proxy_passowrd>#<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>
npm config set https-proxy http://<proxy_username>:<proxy_passowrd>#<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>
Note:
If your username/password contains any special characters you need to URL encode them. Eg. If your username is bruce\wayne then you need to URL encode it as bruce%5Cwayne where %5C="\"
If your proxy has no authentication then ignore and
Examples:
npm config set proxy http://bruce%5Cwayne:darkknight#11.434.2.23:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://bruce%5Cwayne:darkknight#11.434.2.23:8080
So, try configuring your .npmrc file using the commands given above and then try running npm i puppeteer. The proxy will no longer be blocking the external URL and you would be able to download Chromium.
Let me know if this works and reach out to me if you have any doubts.
I have faced similar issue. The best work around for this is to create a project using npm init, then install puppeteer using command "npm install puppeteer --save". This way chromium also gets installed with out any issues.Hope this helps..
Please set the following in .npmrc
puppeteer_download_host = https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors
or
npm config set puppeteer_download_host https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors

Command error running installed npm modules

Hi guys could you help me? i've installed the latest version of node.js and installed cordova and ionic framework the problem starts is when i'm trying to run the ionic command, the console throw me the following message:
MacBook-Pro-de-Diego:~ diegochavez$ ionic start myApp
-bash: ionic: command not found
So then i looked for the root of my npm modules
MacBook-Pro-de-Diego:~ diegochavez$ npm root
/Users/diegochavez/node_modules
if you guys know something to fix this? Thanks in advance
First check if ionic is installed at path like /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/bin/ionic. If it is there, you need to check the npm default global path.
Run command npm config get prefix to check the default path, it should be /usr/local. If it is not /usr/local, run command npm config set prefix /usr/local to set it. And then install again. Also see this answer
I having issue while running - sudo npm install -g gulp ionic with below version of node installed
node -v v0.10.15
npm -v 1.3.5
Error went way after I update node to latest version v0.10.26
The error you are getting is because ionic was not installed successfully. Trying updating node and run command as mentioned sudo npm install -g gulp ionic
Check where your npm folder is located. If your npm folder is located in $Home..then type this:
export PATH="$HOME/npm/bin:$PATH"
You need to run sudo npm install -g ionic from the command line.
