Yeoman generator always get some error

Question

When I'm trying using yeoman web generator, although it's working, but looking through the whole generate progress, it always gives me some errors below, no matter what generator I used, they are always there.

npm ERR! [email protected] install: `node install.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] install script.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the phantomjs package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR!     node install.js
npm ERR! You can get their info via:
npm ERR!     npm owner ls phantomjs
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! System Darwin 13.1.0
npm ERR! command "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! cwd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/DECO3800/test
npm ERR! node -v v0.10.28
npm ERR! npm -v 1.4.10
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Additional logging details can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/DECO3800/test/npm-debug.log
npm ERR! not ok code 0

Just wondering why it would be like that, and how to solve it or it totally no affect to my built web project?

Answer 1

There seems to be a problem with the Bitbucket CDN at the moment.

You can use this as a temporary workaround:

PHANTOMJS_CDNURL=http://cnpmjs.org/downloads npm install phantomjs

Answer 2

The workaround mentioned is:

You can download the phantomjs zip manually here: https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads and move it to the dir npm wants to download it to.

Downloading http://cdn.bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.7-macosx.zip
Saving to /var/folders/fl/ssqg11_j1hs5mk4fvyqgjcmc0000gn/T/phantomjs/phantomjs-1.9.7-macosx.zip
.
.

Whenever you try to build your project the next time, phantomjs is already present and doesn't have to be downloaded, so the download will be skipped and your project will finish (unless another error is encountered).
