Global NPM install failing on OSX

npm

Having a bit of trouble with an NPM install of a project I'm working on.

The npm install works find when run inside a VM against package.json. However, when run from the host OSX machine (not shared folder or any conflicts like that) the install goes into a error loop.

Package.json:

  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {

.npmrc:

registry = http://registry.npmjs.org/
dev = true
#fetch-retries = 120
strict-ssl = false
#tmp = /Users/matt/.npmtmp

And (part of endlessly looping) output of npm install -g:

My NODE_PATH is set to 

/usr/local/bin/node

Node was installed via brew and i'm on Mavericks OSX.

I have run npm cache clean and am confident it isn't a permissions issue anywhere. To my eyes, there seems to be some cyclic :node_modules: directory building there? Help!

Having stumbled upon the very same issue you have, I brute-force fixed it with:

$ rm -r $HOME/.npm

# If the above fails, you can force remove this directory.
# BE CAREFUL though. If you make a typo, you can end up
# deleting files you care about.
$ rm -rf $HOME/.npm

followed by 

npm cache clean
npm install -g grunt-cli
