Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

Solution

This solution fixes the error caused by trying to run npm update npm -g. Once you're finished, you also won't need to use sudo to install npm modules globally.

 * Using Operator Mono in Atom
 * 
 * 1. Open up Atom Preferences.
 * 2. Click the “Open Config Folder” button.
 * 3. In the new window’s tree view on the left you should see a file called “styles.less”. Open that up.
 * 4. Copy and paste the CSS below into that file. As long as you have Operator Mono SSm installed you should be golden!
 * 5. Tweak away.

# first:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do  sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*

# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:

# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf node*

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Intro

I wanted to try out the MonoGame framework, which allows for creating cross-platform games based on the XNA API. It wasn't straightforward for me to run a Mac example (on OS X Mountain Lion). There were a number of steps I had to go through to get things working, including combing through forum posts. The official instructions didn't seem to work, or I couldn't find the most recent instructions. It's for situations like these I wish I had the foresight to journal my progress so that others don't get tripped up. Here are instructions I followed in case someone finds them useful.

Steps

1. Install Xamarin Studio and the specified dependencies (mono, gtk+).
2. Install the MonoGame project template for Xamarin Studio
3. Install XCode from the Mac App Store.
