topcube does not support osx. The latest master prints a nice message about this:

~$ npm install https://github.com/creationix/topcube/tarball/master
npm http GET https://github.com/creationix/topcube/tarball/master
npm http 200 https://github.com/creationix/topcube/tarball/master

> topcube@0.1.2 preinstall /Users/dane/node_modules/topcube
> node package.js

Topcube currently does not support darwin
topcube@0.1.2 ./node_modules/topcube
