NPM Install error with Phoenix Framework

Question

I am on debian jessie and I am trying to set up phoenix framework. I created a new phoenix application with mix phoenix.new and then I enter that folder. When I run 'npm install' I get these errors:

sudo npm install

What is the issue ?

Answer 1

One of the ways to install the latest version with nvm. For me it was very helpful. At first remove old version.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

And install the latest one

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install 5.0
nvm use 5.0

Answer 2

I had the same error then realized I was using an older version of node. Solution is to update node to newer than v5.0.0.
