Error when trying to run an example using npm

Trace follows:

Hi,

I have no precise idea of why this error pops up but it seems weird that npm (or node) searches for a /home/dockerdev/study/redux-tutorial/node_modules/example/package.json file (which of course does not exist and is not supposed to...). Maybe this is an npm version issue. I just checked and here are the node and npm version that I use:

(local (master)~/Codes/redux-tutorial)$ node --version
v4.1.0
(local (master)~/Codes/redux-tutorial)$ npm --version
2.11.3

And here the result of a "working" execution of npm run example 01_simple-action-creator.js --loglevel verbose:

(local (master)~/Codes/redux-tutorial)$ npm run example 01_simple-action-creator.js --loglevel verbose
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm verb cli [ '/usr/local/bin/node',
npm verb cli   '/usr/local/bin/npm',
npm verb cli   'run',
npm verb cli   'example',
npm verb cli   '01_simple-action-creator.js',
npm verb cli   '--loglevel',
npm verb cli   'verbose' ]

npm info using node@v4.1.0
npm verb run-script [ 'preexample', 'example', 'postexample' ]

{ type: 'AN_ACTION' }

npm info ok

Could you try to upgrade npm?

Upgrading node/npm did the trick. Thanks!
