After running "npm install -g sm" I get this error: happens on windows and linux.

sm@0.1.69 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sm node ./scripts/postinstall.js

Try updating NPM to >= 1.1.16 and try installing again.

npm update -g npm
weissmag commented 12 years ago

this worked apparently the debian package for node 0.6.17 (and also 0.6.18) is built without the bundled NPM so it used the old one from the npm package. reinstalled by cloning and building myself. thanks !

Hi, im having the same problem but my npm version is 1.1.4 node v0.6.19 and sm 0.1.69.

Im trying to install sm on a raspberrypi (if that changes anything)

cadorn commented 11 years ago

I'll be releasing a new version of sm next week at the latest that will fail silently if the sm command cannot be installed. You can then manually put it on your PATH. This is the typical reason for install failures.

Yeah i set up the PATH manually and the post install script worked fine. Also i installed again with node 0.8.* and install worked first time.
