I am having issues running npm install in the angular-phonecat directory. I am assuming this may be an issue with my paths but not sure. Any insight would be much appreciated. I keep getting Error: Cannot find module 'update-notifier'. If i install this individually i will just get another missing module.

$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node

$ which npm
/Users/Ashton/.node/bin/npm

export PATH="/usr/local/bin/node:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/.node/bin:$PATH"

$ npm install

> angular-phonecat@0.0.0 postinstall /Users/Ashton/Dropbox/Learning Projects/angular-phonecat
> bower install


module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^

  • Do you have bower installed in your machine? – BKM Apr 24 '14 at 03:34
  • yes... $ which bower /Users/Ashton/.node/bin/bower – busyPixels Apr 24 '14 at 03:43
  • What if you do npm install update-notifier? – BKM Apr 24 '14 at 03:45
  • Then i get "Error: Cannot find module 'bower-logger'". I feel like i should not have to install these dependencies one by one... am I wrong? Thanks for your help by the way. – busyPixels Apr 24 '14 at 03:48
  • If you are getting these errors then you have to install all these dependencies in order to work – BKM Apr 24 '14 at 03:50
  • After I install a few more I get: "Error: Cannot find module '../lib'" and this one cannot be installed " ERROR: Repository not found.". I feel like I have had this issue before and it was due to npm installing into a stange directory but I am not sure how to debug or resolve. – busyPixels Apr 24 '14 at 03:53
  • FYI. I re-pulled the repo into another directory and it installed find. Maybe that on e just got corrupt somehow but the new directory works fine. – busyPixels Apr 24 '14 at 04:01
  • Global installs on Unix systems go to {prefix}/lib/node_modules. Global installs on Windows go to {prefix}/node_modules (that is, no lib folder.) – BKM Apr 24 '14 at 04:14
  • you can also get this error if the port is already in use. – rsturim Dec 13 '14 at 15:44

I was having a similar issue when I was trying to download angular-seed project on windows 10. I installed GIT command line. Then Instead of downloading the ZIP, I used GIT command line to download the project. git clone https://YOURPORJECT.For the network issue I typed in git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://.
