When running brew install node I'm not able to get npm to build. Here's the end of the node install I'm getting... 

==> /usr/local/bin/npm install --global npm@latest --prefix /usr/local
--global
npm@latest
--prefix
/usr/local

Warning: The post-install step did not complete successfully
You can try again using `brew postinstall node`
==> Summary
 /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.10.32: 1678 files, 19M

Nothing doing when run brew postinstall node.

Many thanks for help!

You could try the following :

$ brew uninstall node
$ rm -r ~/.npm
$ brew install node

  • Hey Kilroy, that didn't get rid of the problem either. – Thomas O'Brien Oct 22 '14 at 22:23
  • I've seen a ~similar issue beeing resolved here http://forums.webhook.com/t/cant-get-node-to-install-on-latest-osx-mavericks-resolved/109. Hopefully that might help a bit. – nsarno Oct 22 '14 at 22:47
  • I worked through that and was able to remove these errors: `make[1]: *** [node_modules/.bin/ronn] Error 3 make: *** [man/man3/npm-bin.3] Error 2` but I'm still getting `Warning: The post-install step did not complete successfully You can try again using brew postinstall node` – Thomas O'Brien Oct 22 '14 at 22:55
  • Did you give a look at that question? It might be relevant http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12607155/error-the-brew-link-step-did-not-complete-successfully – nsarno Oct 23 '14 at 19:19
  • I did have a look at that... I'm actually just clean installing now, so I should be good. Thanks for your help!! – Thomas O'Brien Oct 23 '14 at 19:36
  • Ha, probably sounds like the best option. Good luck! – nsarno Oct 23 '14 at 19:37
