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.

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.

World of Tanks unofficial API

World of Tanks, popular MMO game about tanks from time around WWII, has some nice mobile application called Wot Assistant (available also at AppStore and MS Marketplace). With simple packet sniffing you can guess how it retrieves players' statistics.

Surprisingly, mobile application uses quite simple API over HTTP which serves data in JSON, which is great help for people interested in creating own applications handling statistical data in game.

At this moment here is list of API features that has been discovered:

• searching players by names
• searching clans by names
