npm error after using n to switch versions

[mpalmerlee]

I've been using n to sucessfully switch node versions (it seems) for the last few days, but I'm having problems now with npm:
module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'npmlog'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

Thanks for your help.

Getting the same error.

I think it has to do with my manual install of v0.6.19, (since there is no compiled version for mac of 0.6.19, I had to copy files manually to:
/usr/local/n/versions/0.6.19

and I noticed there are files for npm (in 0.8.20) here:
/usr/local/n/versions/0.8.20/lib/node_modules/npm

works for me :s

having the same problem node v0.8.22

[malkomalko]

same, but I fixed it by manually running "curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh" once

+1 from a clean install (manually removed all previous node & npm artifacts), though I installed to /opt/local instead of /usr & exported N_PREFIX accordingly.

Failed on n version 0.8.2 and the latest 0.9.1.

Im using a pc

Same issue, $ curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh solved it.

[CrabDude]

Check that, reinstall npm didn't solve it. Had to reinstall node, and n unfortunately doesn't work 100% of the time. =(

[CrabDude]

It looks like the reason for the previous "fix" was that I removed /usr/local/npm (and relaunched my terminal), which caused it to fallback on ~/.npm_prefix/bin/npm which works.

So, I'm assuming this is an npm prefix issue.

[blakeembrey]

Was switching from using nvm to n and the manual curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh fixed the issue for me

[mpalmerlee]

Thanks guys, I was able to fix my issues with:
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

as well.
