Installing jshint via npm on MacOS X Lion

gistfile1.txt

Are you also having problems installing jshint (or other module) on Lion:

this is what i saw:

npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, chmod 
... and loads of other stuff

This worked for me:

1. Clone the node-jshint repo

git clone https://github.com/jshint/node-jshint.git

2. Install from that directory:

cd node-jshint
npm install -g

3. Now i had another problem, one file seemed to be missing:

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
Error: Cannot find module './../packages/jshint/jshint.js'

4. So i cloned the "normal" jshint repo ...

git clone https://github.com/jshint/jshint/

5. ... and copied jshint.js to where node-jshint wanted it

cp jshint/jshint.js /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jshint/packages/jshint/jshint.js
(you might have to create some directories there)

What does your npm -v report?

Either way, rm -rf usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and reinstall npm.

Hi Marak!
Thanks for havin a look at this,
you where right, the old npm version was my problem, i was on 1.1.12

So i re-installed npm and now i could handle this the normal way..

Cheers man!
