Installing PhoneGap from NPM Fails

I am trying to install PhoneGap from NPM, but it is failing on install - I have set the registry again as another post suggested but it still fails.

Any help would be great!

js@jspi ~ $ sudo npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
js@jspi ~ $ sudo npm install -g phonegap
npm http GET http://registry.npmjs.org/phonegap
npm http 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/phonegap

Try to force the install by adding -f :

sudo npm install -gf phonegap

If you take a look at the package.json file of PhoneGap on the GitHub repository, you'll see these lines:

"engines": {
  "node": ">=0.10.0"
}

The line means that the package requires at least Node.js version 0.10.0 to run/install. Therefore, to fix your problem, update to the latest version of Node or at least version 0.10.0.
