Help with 'peer invalid' issue

[bodyslam]

Heya! We had to update a our Browserify version from 3.x.x to 12.x.x along with swap and shim. I'm currently running into an install issue with the following:

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package browserify does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer browserify-shim@3.8.11 wants browserify@>= 2.3.0 < 13

It appears to me that the browserify versions are within the shim's ranges. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@bendrucker should be able to help you here.

Just updated the docs to clarify the required steps with npm@3. You'll need to npm install browserify browserify-shim.

Confirmed working after updating my npm to v3.3.12. Thanks guys!

@bendrucker, I use npm@3 and encountered an error while using npm shrinkwrap --dev. Here is my output of npm ls:

npm ERR! peer dep missing: browserify@>= 2.3.0 < 14, required by browserify-shim@3.8.12

I know in npm@3, npm doesn't install peerdependencies, but npm shrinkwrap do read peerdependencies setting and return error. Here is my question: is it possible to add 'browserify' to 'dependencies'?
