i tried to install grunt on a mac with Yosemite. node is already installed in the newest version. if i type "node -v" in the terminal i get the line v0.12.5. thats good. but when i want to install something with npm i get only a error...
i tried "sudo npm install -g grunt-cli", "sudo npm install npm -g" and also with "npm -v" i get always this error...
Error: Cannot find module 'are-we-there-yet' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25) at Module.require (module.js:365:17) at require (module.js:384:17) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/Cellar/node/0.10.22/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npmlog/log.js:2:16) at Module._compile (module.js:460:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:478:10) at Module.load (module.js:355:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:310:12) at Module.require (module.js:365:17) someone knows what's the problem or better a solution?

If there is a package. json already existing in your project folder, then from command line you need to go to your project folder and type npm start. npm install --save grunt // And you need to do for all the node_modules, by replacing the **grunt**. Automatically the dependency will be added to your package.
To solve the "Cannot find module" error in Node. js, make sure to install the package from the error message if it's a third party package, e.g. npm i somePackage . If you get the error with a local module, make sure to point the node command to a file that exists.
You have broken npm by removing some of its dependencies.
are-we-there-yet is a dependency of npmlog which is a dependency of npm itself, and you somehow deleted it. The usual simple solution for such cases is reinstalling a package, but that doesn't work if npm cannot operate. Fortunately, npm tarball comes prebundled with dependencies and hence installing npm from scratch is as simple as unpacking a tarball.
1) Go to the global node_modules directory (what would npm root -g print if you could run it):
$ cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules 2) Remove the broken npm directory or move it somewhere else (note that you might need to elevate permissions for this and the following steps):
$ mv npm /tmp 3) Download and unpack fresh npm from the registry (substitute version you want to install, e.g. 3.10.8):
$ curl -L registry.npmjs.com/npm/-/npm-{VERSION}.tgz | tar xz --transform="s:^package:npm:" You can automate some of that with this install script:
$ curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh At this point npm should work again.
