| # various Yeoman generators (generator-webapp) are failing due to using npm 2.x beta with errors | |
| # like "grunt 1.4.x" peer dependency not met (when in fact the dependency is met). | |
| # fix for me was to upgrade node, but install npm separately, since upgrading node automatically installs latest npm which is 2.x | |
| # to install latest node | |
| brew update | |
| brew install node --without-npm | |
| # to install latest 1.x branch of npm | |
| curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh > npm_install.sh | |
| vim npm_install.sh | |
| # find the line that say says: echo "install npm@latest" and change t="latest" line below to t="v1.4-latest" | |
| chmod u+x npm_install.sh | |
| ./npm_install.sh | |
| # Yeoman webapp generator now works fine |
