Grunt install failure

I'm trying to install Grunt using the following command:

npm install -g grunt-cli

I get this result:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli

Ideas? I know my Node and npm are installed correctly. I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS with a standard LAMP installation and npm version v0.11.5-pre

You're using an old version of node.js (v0.6.19). Grunt is only compatible with node.js >= 0.8. See this issue for a duplicate problem: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/issues/723
