node.js error npm install

Whenever I try to import a project in node.js, I can't seem to get it to work. It gives error's when I try to install. I've tried using cmd, cmd as admin, cmd for node and git bash. They all give the same error and I can't seem to figure out what it means.

This is an example of the output I get when i use "npm install express -g"

c:\wamp\www\3imda\webtech2\eindopdracht>npm install express -g npm WARN unmet dependency C:\Users\Maïteh\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phone gap\node_modules\phonegap-build requires colors@'0.6.x' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency C:\Users\Maïteh\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phone gap\node_modules\colors, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version 0.6.0-1 npm WARN unmet dependency C:\Users\Maïteh\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phone gap\node_modules\prompt\node_modules\winston requires colors@'0.x.x' but will lo ad npm WARN unmet dependency C:\Users\Maïteh\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phone gap\node_modules\colors, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version 0.6.0-1 npm ERR!

From this screenshot, you can see that node-restful expects a mongoose of version ~3, but from this screenshot, you can see that you have version 4.0.1 of mongoose! The immediate solution is to change the version of mongoose in the package.json file to 3.9.7 and re-run npm install (without the -g). This is what worked for me locally.

You can read more about Peer Dependencies, should you like to know why this was happening.

Cheers, Brennan
