I have a empty folder, In which I created a package.json file, which contains this:
{
"name":"sample project",
"version":"0.0.1",
"title":"My grunt App",
"homepage":"http://gruntjs.com"
}
later on in the same folder, I am trying to run this command:
npm install grunt --save-dev
But I am getting error like this: not able to install the grunt at all
D:\grunt2>npm install grunt --save-dev

Not able to understand the issue. any one help me please?
Actually i am trying to reproduce this tutorial: http://www.anujgakhar.com/2013/02/28/writing-a-simple-grunt-task-using-gruntjs/
Don't use a space in the project name. Change, eg, to sample-project.
(That's the very first error line, btw: Error: Invalid name: "sample project")
The name-field in package.json is invalid, precisely as the error says. Remove the space (use a dot or a dash instead) and it should be fine. According to the developers this is by design since the name will be used in urls, folders etc.

I'm trying to run Gulp on my Mac. I went into terminal and cd'd into my gulp folder. When I type
gulp
I get "-bash: gulp: command not found". In my gulp folder I do have a gulpfile.js in there but again I get nothing. Where do I go from here?
Here's the errors I get when I npm install -g:

Have you installed Gulp on your machine yet?
If your folder has a package.json file, make sure you can see Gulp in there listed between your devDependencies. These dependencies are what you use during development of your Node project.
If you don't have a package.json file, you can create one in the command line via npm init, then install Gulp locally on your machine with npm install -g gulp, and then install the command line interface for gulp in your project folder: npm install --save-dev gulp-cli. The CLI will run the Gulp executable with the Gulpfile.js that's in your project.
More information can be found on their website: http://gulpjs.com/
I have created an NPM package and installed it to test it. NPM/Node throws an ENOENT error when installing dependencies for GruntJS in a nested node_modules folder with npm install.
I take these steps to create the error:
npm install pavilion
cd node_modules/pavilion
npm install
When installing the dependencies for Grunt, listed in the package.json...it throws the error as seen below.

Now the weird part. When I use Bower to install the package...I don't get the error. Here are my steps:
bower install pavilion
cd bower_components/pavilion
npm install
Everything installs fine. The difference? ---> the package.json.
The bower install package.json works find. NPM's doesn't.
Bower gives me a clean package.json, as created by myself before publishing to npm.
NPM install gives me an package.json that had a lot more info in there. When I use the bower package.json...everything install fine...even when I paste and replace the npm package.json in the node_modules folder.
What's the deal here? It seems that the package.json delivered with the npm install messes up the dependency installation.
Here is the bower package.json delivery:

And here is the npm package.json delivery:

I have tried npm cache clean but it didn't work.
sysinfo:
OSX Yosemite
node - 5.10.1
npm - 3.8.6
Node is brilliant but can be a pain sometimes!
I have had this error myself lately and for me rolling back to an earlier version of node fixed my problem.
I would recommend you try out an earlier install you could use "node version manager" to have a few node versions on your system and it provides methods to switch between versions.
I know its not a very technical answer and i hope someone has a specific answer to your question!
[https://github.com/creationix/nvm]
Here's the version manager link hope it helps
The problem was that I didn't save the dependency in the package.json.
I guess Node gets the paths wrong if you do that.
So the correct workflow is:
npm init (create the package.json)
npm install <package> --save-dev
cd node_modules/pavilion
npm install
Then it works fine. The <package> needs to be added to the parent directory's package.json.

I've had a very similar problem before. You might try running:
npm cache clean
and see if that makes any difference.

I'm trying to install a mysql node package on Mac OS X. I'm trying to run a client project locally.
I have node and npm installed already and they work fine, other packages have installed fine. I've also compiled/installed the full LAMP stack.
When the build below fails, I'm not seeing any error messages that are helpful - just information about a library not being found. Without knowing what it can't find, I can't fix it.
Any advice? MySQL has been installed the standard way - downloaded packages, ./configure'd, make/install.

Look at the dependencies section in README and issues #107. To build mysql-libmysqlclient you should install both libmysqlclient and development headers for it, add path to your MySQL bin dir to $PATH and path to your MySQL lib dir to $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
