npm install from a git repository not working

Question

I am trying to install modules hosted on github using npm install. For example

npm install git+https://github.com/balderdashy/enpeem.git

But this is not placing the module in the node_modules folder. If I run with --verbose flag, I can see that the module is getting fetched and going to appData folder.

node -v v4.6.1

npm -v 2.15.9

What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Updating node to v6.9.0 solved the problem.
