While trying to deploy hubot, npm keeps complaining about unmet dependencies. The documentation does not explain how to get around this.
yum install npm --enablerepo=epel yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel cd /opt git clone https://github.com/github/hubot.git cd hubot/ ./bin/hubot --create acebot npm install -g hubot coffee-script ... npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/formidable/-/formidable-1.0.14.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/uid2/-/uid2-0.0.2.tgz /usr/bin/hubot -> /usr/lib/node_modules/hubot/bin/hubot npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/block-stream requires inherits@'~2.0.0' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/fstream requires inherits@'~2.0.0' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/fstream-ignore requires inherits@'2' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/fstream-npm requires inherits@'2' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/glob requires inherits@'2' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/npmconf requires inherits@'~2.0.0' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/lib/node_modules/tar requires inherits@'2' but will load npm WARN unmet dependency undefined, npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined coffee-script@1.6.3 /usr/lib/node_modules/coffee-script
the packages.json file contains a list of dependencies, which I assume should automatically be resolved.
"dependencies": { "coffee-script": "1.6.3", "optparse": "1.0.4", "scoped-http-client": "0.9.8", "log": "1.4.0", "express": "3.3.4" },
Can anyone shed some light on why npm can't install hubot?
Update
I still don't understand why it wasn't working, but running npm install
before running npm install -g hubot coffee-script
seems to get past this error. I'll need to verify this before posting an answer
