Question

I followed the link below to install npm

http://shapeshed.com/setting-up-nodejs-and-npm-on-mac-osx/

Node -v 0.8.2 was installed properly.

Then I used the following command to install npm

curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

but I got an error saying –

Failed to get tarball url for npm/1.1 

I also cloned npm from github and then did make install but it stopped at the third line shown below.

npm http GET https://github.com/isaacs/ronnjs/tarball/master
npm http 200 https://github.com/isaacs/ronnjs/tarball/master
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/opts

After trying for sometime I then downloaded the install.sh file and then changed
https://registry.npmjs.org/ to http://registry.npmjs.org/ at all places.

Then as a root user I ran the following command

bash path_to_install.sh 

and npm -v = 1.1.42 was installed

But when I tried to install juggernaut with the following command

npm install -g juggernaut

It gets stuck at the following line and nothing happens.

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/juggernaut

I guess the problem is with the https url or the way I installed npm.

How can I fix this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

It worked when I replaced https://registry.npmjs.org to http://registry.npmjs.org inside npm.
