Can't install claymate with npm, error: No compatible version found: bower-config@'>=0.2.0 <0.3.0'

Question

I'm trying to install claymate with npm with no success. It gives me:

mateuss-air:~ mateuspinheiro$ npm install claymate
npm ERR! Darwin 13.3.0
npm ERR! argv "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "claymate"

npm ERR! notarget 
npm ERR! notarget This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.

Any clues?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Very simple: Don't install npm using HomeBrew. It messes things up.

Installed the npm that comes with node and it's perfectly fine now.

Answer 2

Does not work for me. I installed node & npm via the binary installer and updated npm to 2.6

sudo npm install -g npm

I've got an answer for ya. Did that few days ago and finaly got claymate to work. Hope it helps somebody.

U have to install npm@1 ( write it like so ). Then go to install directory ( cause U use nmp2 by default ) and install claymate from that place. That's it. As simple as that and I've spent a lot of time figuring it out.
