Hey, are you on the latest version of surge? Try running npm install -g surge.

[aowongster]

I am also running into this issue. I just installed surge.

I'm using NVM on OSX

node --version
v5.10.0

npm --version
3.8.3

npm install -g surge

@aowongster node v5.10.0 is outdated and considered unstable at the time of its release. Any chance you are able to update your version of node to v6.x? or newer?

[aowongster]

Thanks, @sintaxi I upgraded to v6.6.0 and surged deployed just fine.

[Artucuno]
