npm fails on FreeBSD

[glor]

OS: FreeBSD I suspect you expect the binary to be named 'nodejs' and not 'node'?

npm output:

no problem cloning the repository and running a local nmp install -g .

we try both node and nodejs. This looks to be an issue with the printed line: complete = Array(Math.max(0, completeLength + 1)).join(this.chars.complete);

Apparently 0 is not a valid Array length in FreeBSD?

[glor]

Array(0)

[]

Array length is not OS specific. This is part of ecmascript and - of course - not different on FreeBSD

Run into the same problem today. It turns out to be platform2release has no freebsd, then got an url with undefined in it, then a 404 response with no content-length then len becomes NaN and so on..

Maybe it would be nice to add an explicit check for supported platforms in the script to avoid confusion.

And, @anmonteiro are you planning to add FreeBSD support? :) (I ended up boot release one myself.)

Same issue! @anmonteiro
