I try to run npm install browserify both locally and globally (-g)

but I always got the follow errors

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package bn.js does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants bn.js@^0.16.0

npm ERR! System Darwin 14.0.0

Try zipping your existing node_modules and package.json, then delete them.

You may need to 1st generate a new package.json using:

npm init

Then install browserify locally:

npm install browserify

Also, you'll have to install browserify globally:

npm install browserify -g

To zip on CMD or terminal refer to the following article:

This commit introduced the breaking change: https://github.com/indutny/miller-rabin/commit/bb85f555974587a410a17173f0bc484133b53cb7

The author of the library should fix it, but meanwhile you can:

  1. Delete the existing node_modules folder
  2. npm install [email protected] --save-peer
  3. npm install browserify

Had the same issue on Linux. Try running npm update -g before installing browserify. This has worked for me.

In order to make the workaround work, you have to

  1. Delete the existing node_modules folder.
  2. npm install [email protected] --save-peer
  3. npm install browserify

That works guaranteed.

Recently found this issue on browserify's github.

https://github.com/substack/node-browserify/issues/1049

There is a workaround described.

There are details of a workaround list in the issues on the github page

Error listing

To summarise the solution posted in the issue, you need to install [email protected] as a peer-dependency in your own project (npm install [email protected] --save-peer) that makes sure the [email protected] is used rather than the more recent version.

Hope that helps!
