Installing yeoman on mac

Question

I'm trying to install yeoman on my mac to develop an angular app.

This is my situation:

node --version && npm --version

v0.10.33

1.4.28

and this is the result of:

sh-3.2# npm install --global yo bower grunt-cli
/var/root/.npm-packages/bin/grunt -> /var/root/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt
/var/root/.npm-packages/bin/bower -> /var/root/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/bower/bin/bower
/var/root/.npm-packages/bin/yo -> /var/root/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/yo/cli.js

yo@1.3.3 postinstall /var/root/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/yo yodoctor

env: node: No such file or directory

npm ERR! yo@1.3.3 postinstall: yodoctor npm ERR! Exit status 127 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the yo@1.3.3 postinstall script. npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the yo package, npm ERR! not with npm itself. npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system: npm ERR! yodoctor npm ERR! You can get their info via: npm ERR!

I've already tried to find the cli.js file but I find lot of them.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Answer 1

I guess you have problem with your node version. You should update to 6 or higher.

Yoeman Install prerequisites

Before installing the Fountain Webapp Generator, you will need the following:

• Node.js 6 or higher
• npm 3 or higher (which comes bundled with Node)
• Git

Answer 2

I had the same error and my problem was that I install yo with sudo.

Follow this guide and install yo without sudo privilege. That should fix your problem.
