I can't get whatever needs to be updated/recompiled to do so.

I've tried:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew upgrade node

npm update -g n
npm update -g npm
npm update -g appdmg
n stable
npm update -g node
npm rebuild -g node

No luck - I'm sure I'm missing some obvious command but have no idea what it is.

Not sure what to do about that either. There is a package-lock.json but no package.json.

npm rebuild -g macos-alias perhaps?

[Unshackle8078]

@LinusU Unfortunately nope

[Unshackle8078]

Well. Maybe my configuration broke itself - not sure. Got it working by running:

• /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
• sudo rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/{npm,node,man1/node*}
• /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Re-downloaded & installed from: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Ran: npm install -g appdmg again and not the same call that was working before is working again.

I ran into the same issue. The following fixed the problem for me:

npm uninstall -g appdmg npm install -g appdmg
