npm install generates huge list of errors

Question

I must preface this question by saying that I am really new to Angular and Node. Following the directions from this Tuts+ tutorial, I cloned a sample Angular repo and then ran npm install. That yielded a massive list of errors, and then left my Terminal hanging for about 5 minutes. After that, I ran npm start and opened the sample app, which seemed to function just fine.

As I said, I'm very new to Angular and Node, so I don't know how to debug the errors I'm seeing, or if it's even something I should worry about. Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks!

Answer 1

Karma 0.10 incompatible with node 0.12

npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"~0.8 || ~0.10"} (current: {"node":"0.12.2","npm":"2.7.5"})

Switch to a node 0.10 version and the install will probably work.

Answer 2

If I understand your question correctly, the reason why got the errors is that your Node.js version does not match with Angular.js

[email protected]: wanted: {"node":"~0.8 || ~0.10"} (current: {"node":"0.12.2","npm":"2.7.5"})

there is two way to fix your problem

1. Downgrade your Node.js version to match with Angular.js
2. Install nvm to switch your Node.js version

but i suggest you try the latter as it is an easy way to manage Node.js version using the nvm.
