jx install package manager failing

[Jeevsxp]

Hi guys,

I am having trouble intalling the mbtiles package using:

sudo jx npm install mbtiles --autoremove "*.gz"

I keep getting:

Error: 404 response downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.40/-v0.10.40.tar.gz

It should be downloading: https://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.40/node-v0.10.40.tar.gz

I think this might be cased by the old version of npm that is being used npm: '1.4.14'

Is there any way to update this? Or is there another way to get the package installed?

Can you delete the following folders;

• ~/.jx
• ~/.node-gyp

and retry ?

I did try this before, but it seemed to work this time, thx

Quick couple of questions:

Why are you using an old version of npm? and why does the installation of a package need to download node again?

Why are you using an old version of npm?

This is because we needed to alter npm sources, and doing that for each new npm version takes time. But we do plan to switch to one of newer version at some point, though.

and why does the installation of a package need to download node again?

It's probably triggered by downloaded package itself (install scripts etc.). Maybe it searches for a node, and when it's not already on platform (is it?) then it downloads again?
