TypeError: Cannot read property 'node' of undefined

I'm trying to install NPM.

I first ran

brew install node

then

curl -O https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh

then

~ % sh install.sh

this is what I get 

tar=/usr/bin/tar
    version:
    bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3
    install npm@latest
    fetching: http://registry.npmjs.org/npm/-/npm-2.0.2.tgz

    > node bin/npm-cli.js prune --prefix=. --no-global && rm -rf test/*/*/node_modules && make -j8 doc

    make: Nothing to be done for `doc'.
    /usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
    [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
    It worked

I know it says it worked... I'm just trying to find out what the error message means. And see what I can do to fix it.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Just Delete all the files present in the tar file related to Nodejs. Generally, Mac os has not supported these loads. you can use (yarn/npm) for that. Just install npm first.

Just go to this file and install it.

Although it looks like you got this all sorted out, I would like to answer this to put forward the "official" (npm-supported) way of installing npm on OSX:

  • don't use brew;
  • install the "official" node binary from https://nodejs.org/download
  • install the latest npm : sudo npm install -g npm@latest

If you install it that way, it is easier to get support on the npm issue tracker at https://github.com/npm/npm
