Installation Error

I am getting this error at the end of npm installation log:

sudo npm i -g phaser --save-dev

Is that the exact command you ran? Those generators aren't part of phaser. Seems like it's something from yeoman.

well, it says in the log "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "i" "-g" "phaser" "--save-dev", but indeed it does look like yo phaser or something. did you do yo something and then && npm i -g phaser --save-dev?

in any case we're thinking about renaming phaser b/c there is a JavaScript framework called phaser that I found after I published this, and they have a yeoman generator - but not a npm package.

Here is the full log from terminal: https://gist.github.com/pavelbinar/6b521452c0429dfdf30a

What about cache issue? No yo involved.

the part that causing an error is https://gist.github.com/pavelbinar/6b521452c0429dfdf30a#file-error-log-sh-L140-L142, which seems to be related to yeoman generators you have installed globally.

I get similar errors whenever I install something globally. it's because of how yeoman does peerDependencies - causes a lot of issues.

did you actually try running phaser? when I get similar errors it doesn't stop the package in question from actually installing

I think there's an issue with generator-karma and/or generator-angular. See this issue for more information.

As @jonschlinkert said, I think we need to update the docs because we made some changes and the actual phaser library shouldn't be installed in global. Even though, I didn't know that peerDependencies in global modules would affect other other global modules.

Yes I tried to run phaser command, but -bash: phaser: command not found. Here is full log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/582525/assemble/npm-debug.log (1.7 MB)

sudo npm install phaser is working

[pavelbinar]

So no global install. All right so we may consider this as closed.

thanks for working with us on this! it's a new lib, we're still working out some bugs
