Just install older version of Nodejs with nodebrew.

curl -L git.io/nodebrew | perl - setup

Add the following to ~/.bashrc

export PATH=$HOME/.nodebrew/current/bin:$PATH

Refresh console

source ~/.bashrc

Install older version

nodebrew install-binary v0.12.7
nodebrew use v0.12.7

Then try again!

nvm use v0.12.7 in the project directory followed by npm install solved the problem for me -- the error occurred as I was trying to set up broccoli-taco, a static site generator. Thanks for tip, I am glad I googled you up.

In case someone runs into trouble with nodebrew, it's also possible to use nvm (node version manager) to downgrade your node version. Project on Github

On OSX El Capitan, I needed this for the installation:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

Mind the last line, as it's slightly different from the install instruction on github.

As mentioned by Yosuke Sato, v0.12.7 is compatible with [email protected], so you'd need

nvm install v0.12.7 or nvm use v0.12.7 (if you have it installed already)

This will use the older node version, but only in the current terminal window/tab.

It looks like this version is no longer compatible. I get the same errors on my system. Either you need to downgrade node to the supported version, or upgrade the dependencies that require [email protected].

Latest version of node-sass is 3.4.2.
