deploy on heroku failed because npm version is not the latest

Question

looks like heroku is using npm version 1.0.94

I have a dependency that require node 0.6.x, but npm 1.0.94 is 'based' on node 0.4.7

is there any workaround to solve this issue.

       npm ERR! Required: {"node":"0.6.x"}

Answer 1

The example listed @ http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/node-js

worked for me when I modified the package.json to the following:

{
  "name": "node-example",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "dependencies": {
    "express": ">=2.2.0"
  }
}
