Unable to execute npm install

[shackdown]

Hi,

I am unable to execute the cmd npm install. I obtain the error below :

pc36:IAMDinosaur-master Cyril$ su cyril npm install
Password: *****
/usr/local/bin/npm: npm: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/usr/local/bin/npm: npm: line 2: `;(function () { // wrapper in case we're in module_context mode'

For information I use node in v4.2.4 and npm in 2.14.12 in OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

Thanks for your assistance. Regards

That's pretty weird!

Let's begin trying to fix with this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18321155/1234504

run: bash npm install

Hi Ivanseidel,

thanks for your help. I have tried it before post an issue. Below the error message that I have :

pc36:IAMDinosaur-master Cyril$ su cyril bash npm install
Password: ****
/bin/bash: /bin/bash: cannot execute binary file

regards,

[ivanseidel]

why is there su cyril before bash npm install? Are you running it with sudo?

Hi, Follow instructions on RobotJS and see if it resolves: https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs#installation

try installing libxtst-dev package sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev on ubuntu

The problem is that previous versions of nodejs were executed by calling node instead of nodejs. I was able to solve it by creating a symbolic link, as follows: ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node.
