I'm deploying a Node app to Heroku and get the following error. If npm doesn't work with recent versions of Node, what are we supposed to use for a package manager? I really liked node_modules and package.json. It seemed very logical.
-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Node.js app detected
-----> Resolving engine versions
Using Node.js version: 0.8.5
Using npm version: 1.0.106
-----> Fetching Node.js binaries
-----> Vendoring node into slug
-----> Installing dependencies with npm
Error: npm doesn't work with node v0.8.5
Required: [email protected] || 0.5 || 0.6

If your npm is broken: On Mac or Linux, reinstall npm. Windows: If you're on Windows and you have a broken installation, the easiest thing to do is to reinstall node from the official installer (see this note about installing the latest stable version).
npm code base currently uses ES6 but no higher. Latest Node 6 release covers 99% of ES6 spec, it's expected that NPM 6.2. 0 is fully workable with Node 6.14 or higher. Generally, it's certain that latest even major version (Node 10, as of now) doesn't have problems with latest NPM release.
This cause of this error is that one of the dependencies you define in your package. json file fails to be installed properly on your computer. This means that npm fails to install the node-sass module that's added as a dependency to the n-app project.
If you're specifying Node.js 0.8.x via "engines" in your package.json, you may also need to set a version for "npm":
{
...
"engines": {
"node": "0.8.x",
"npm": "1.1.x"
}
}
From the Heroku Dev Center for Node.js:
If you do not specify a version, you will get the following defaults:
- Node.js:
0.4.7- npm:
1.0.106
That page also includes links to supported version manifests for both.
