parse error on install

[pruett]

receiving the following error when running npm install roots-browserify --save

ERR! registry error parsing json
info retry will retry, error on last attempt: SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

and procedes to install v 0.0.1 of the module, but was that ever a version (https://github.com/carrot/roots-browserify/commit/2e7f65b928265994f5f913be3ae0a1d0496a9afb) ?

here is the output of ./node_modules/roots-browserify/package.json

[Read this](http://markup.im/#q4_cRZ1Q) for more details.\n\n### Installation\n\nIn your roots project, `npm install roots-browserify --save`\n\n### Usage\n\nIntended for use in the \"after\" hook. Execute the function with an object with `in` and `out` keys pointing to the input and output paths. For example:\n\n```coffee\nbrowserify = require('roots-browserify')\n\nafter: browserify(in: 'js/main.js', out: 'js/dist.js')\n```\n\nThis would parse the `js/main.js` file's require tree and output everything as `js/dist.js`. Since this runs after compile, even if your main file is coffee, it can run on the js version.\n\n### License & Contributing\n\n- Details on the license [can be found here](LICENSE.md)\n- Details on running tests and contributing [can be found here](contributing.md)\n",

Unable to reproduce this. Are you on the latest node version?

[pruett]

Yeah, I think it's isolated on my machine, thanks for verifying

[pruett]

npm v1.4.6 node v0.10.26

[pruett]

just got install with no error messages, but still installing v0.0.1, what does your package.json look like?

[jescalan]

Yeah 0.0.1 is the correct version thats on npm: http://registry.npmjs.org/roots-browserify

It's certainly possible that a new version needs to be published though. Like I said before this isn't really ready for mainstream use, it needs some more polish first

[pruett]

gotcha, i'll close this out since the parse error was isolated
