I have workspace with several packages and plan to reference one to other.
+ root
|-+ packages
|-+ openapi-jsdoc
|-+ api-1
|-+ api-2
My api-1 and api-2 would like to use openapi-jsdoc, which in my imagination is as easy as doing cd packages/api-1; npm install ../openapi-jsdoc. But it is not, and found weird errors.
$ npm install ../packages/openapi-jsdoc
npm ERR! Cannot set properties of null (setting 'dev')
$ npm install packages/openapi-jsdoc
npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! An unknown git error occurred
npm ERR! command git --no-replace-objects ls-remote ssh://git#github.com/packages/openapi-jsdoc.git
npm ERR! ERROR: Repository not found.
npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
$ npm install git+file:packages/openapi-jsdoc/
npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! An unknown git error occurred
npm ERR! command git --no-replace-objects ls-remote file://packages/openapi-jsdoc/
Is there any concept of workspace I'm missed out. Then, how to do this correctly?
I am trying install ejs in my project and its first time i am doing so.
I tried several commands but none of them seem to work.
Some Commands that i tried are given below :
npm i ejs
npm i ejs --save
npm i ejs -g
npm ERR! code ENOSELF
npm ERR! Refusing to install package with name "ejs" under a package
npm ERR! also called "ejs". Did you name your project the same
npm ERR! as the dependency you're installing?

What could be causing this and how can i fix this
In package.json you likely named your project "ejs", in which case it gives an error like that, rename your project to something else then try install ejs again.
I tried to install websocket via " npm install ws" , but it always returned
npm ERR! code ENOSELF
npm ERR! Refusing to install package with name "ws" under a package
npm ERR! also called "ws". Did you name your project the same

please could you help on how to fix it?
Thanks!
I've only been successful installing ws globally.
Note that the old way of installing globally is deprecated.
You will get an error message with instructions if you try it.
The new way:
npm install --location=global ws
I'm runnig command :
npm install udev
And I'm getting this error:
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/mitesh/package.json'

Looks like you do not have a package.json in your project or it is probably not rightly placed. Here is what you can do;
Browse to your project directory and run this command;
npm init
This should create a package.json file in your project directory
Then run,
npm install udev --save
--save will ensure your module is saved as a dependency in your package.json file.
you could just try to run the last command without the --save but in some cases it helps
Here is a link to further assist: npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\Nuwanst\package.json'
Try this let me know if it helps.
I'm having a stab at learning Node.js and I'm having a few issues when installing NPM (Node Package Manager). I'm pretty sure it's either a permissions thing or folder thing... please note that I've just purchased a Mac (I've used Windows all my life) and I'm pretty unfamiliar with the Mac terminal.
Okay, I went to use the one line install for NPM: curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh and I got an error...
All clean!

It failed
there's obviously a folder issue here, perhaps I'm installing in the wrong place, my node folder is at Users/Mike/node, when I try and find out my node path variable using NODE_PATH I get the following error:
Michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ Mike$ node node/NODE_PATH
node.js:203
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module '/Users/Mike/node/NODE_PATH'

at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
at Array.<anonymous> (module.js:470:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:195:26)
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to add the node path like such:
$ export PATH=/path/to/node/0.n.y/bin:${PATH}
$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Or am I confusing myself?
The permissions on /usr/local require you to use sudo to install NPM, or change your permissions. Of these three, I recommend the third option.
Option #1: Use sudo
(Note that the the creator of NPM advises against using this method)
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
Option #2: Change permissions
sudo chmod g+rwx /usr/local
sudo chgrp admin /usr/local
Option #3: Use Homebrew
I recommend installing Homebrew to manage installing *nix tools on OS X (I'd stay away from MacPorts & Fink). Installing Homebrew will set the permissions for /usr/local so you can write to it without sudo. You can then install Node via Homebrew, and then install NPM normally:
brew install node --without-npm
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Use curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh.
Edit: You're using node -v v0.5.9-pre, which is very unstable. Use 0.4.12, the latest stable version.
if you are using windows , it takes some steps , 1) create a file called package.json
{
"name": "hello"
, "version": "0.0.1"
, "dependencies": {
"express": "*"
}
}
where hello is the name of the package and * means the latest version of your dependency
2) code to you project directory and run the following command
npm install
As update for the method #3 on OSX the correct command now is:
brew install node --without-npm
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Option #4:
Install node local to the user that needs it.
I should clarify for my purposes I needed npm to install appium on an OSX server running Bamboo for our integrated testing. I only had macports available and rather than installing homebrew to manage just the one package I decided to build it from source and install it local to the bamboo user. Which allowed us to run appium as the bamboo user and made it possible to run our appium tests on Bamboo as a not very privileged user.
This guide from Tom Novelli goes over how to do it. The basic gist is:
# Make the dir to hold the installation of node
cd
mkdir ./local
mkdir sources
# Tell npm about your new non-default directories
vi .npmrc
cd sources
# Get node and do the typical source install procedure
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.29/node-v0.10.29.tar.gz
tar xf node-v0.10.29.tar.gz
cd node-v8.10.29/
# Important part is the --prefix
./configure --prefix=~/.local
make
make install
# Make a link so node doesn't get confused
cd
ln -s .local/lib/node_modules .node_modules
# Edit PATH to include ~/.local
vi .bashrc
.npmrc
root = /home/YOUR-USERNAME/.local/lib/node_modules
binroot = /home/YOUR-USERNAME/.local/bin
manroot = /home/YOUR-USERNAME/.local/share/man
.bashrc OR .profile OR whereever you like setting your path
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
Useful Links
The .npmrc man page useful.
And just in case here's a link to node source.
