Can't install on node.js v8.9.1

[ghost]

I recently installed node.js version 8.9.1 since then nba-go doesn't work. I tried installing commander.js but nothing happened, and also tried with 'sudo' I'm on macOS High Sierra. Thanks.

module.js:538
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'commander'

That's weird 😕 Could you install it again, and clear npm cache?

Well... $ npm cache clear -f

Hi @fenek5

I just installed normally here and I'm using a mac OS high Sierra too. I'm using nvm to install node v8.9.1 (Now using node v8.9.1 (npm v5.5.1)) and after that npm install -g nba-go.

I couldn't see the real reason for the problem just based on the log that you shared. Sorry for that.

Well, here's the thing, I installed nvm after nba-go maybe that's why ?

No...use this command: which node and sees path of node binary.

If you are using nvm then something like this will appear: /\<your user path>/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.1/bin/node

With NPM you can do the samething which npm /\<user path>/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.1/bin/npm

So, you can follow these steps:

1. nvm install v8.9.1
2. npm install -g nba-go

You don't need to be root to do that.

note: your gif was great but the error part was too fast

@fenek5

So, everything's ok now?

So as I said, it doesn't work for me on node.js version 8.9.1, but it does very well on version 6.12.0, I use nvm nvm use 6 or nvm use 8 to switch very quickly between the two version, but of course it works better on version 6 😀

It seems to be solved.
