NPM Install Fail about icenium-cli

[tailsu]

How did you install node? Downloaded the .pkg from nodejs.org? Homebrew? NVM?
The error you see is likely due to issues with file permissions.

I downloaded the .pkg from nodejs.org. I now have v0.10.26. Yeah, not sure if and/or how I should chmod any files/dirs.

Try sudo npm install appbuilder -g.

[micahbolen]

No luck. I've tried both with and without sudo.

Looking deeper into the install output, I found this:

> node ./build.js

I think that it's probably best to ditch the .pkg altogether - way too many permission problems. Use the steps from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9044788/how-do-i-uninstall-nodejs-installed-from-pkg-mac-os-x to remove the .pkg. Then install Homebrew from http://brew.sh/ and finally install node using brew install node. Then you should have zero problems installing appbuilder; no sudo will be necessary.

Thanks, it worked!

Great!
