ios-deploy installation failed

Question

So I am trying to install ios-deploy with npm and I'm having this error:

sudo npm install -g ios-deploy
npm WARN lifecycle ios-deploy@1.9.0~preinstall: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) ios-deploy@1.9.0 ./src/scripts/check_reqs.js && xcodebuild /usr/local/lib/node_modules/.staging/ios-deploy-298c9491

npm ERR! enoent This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
npm ERR! enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.

any ideas?

Try:

sudo npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true
