@snaray12 - Do you have node installed? Can you try node -v?

snaray12 commented

@sturdynut node -v returns version 0.12.8

sturdynut commented

@snaray12 - Did you try to sudo it? sudo npm git-prepush-hook?

snaray12 commented

@sturdynut - yes I tried. Also I have logged in as root user and tried. Still no luck.

Here's my output on macOS:

nipp $ npm i git-prepush-hook -D

Can you try upgrading Node to LTS (Node 4 at least)? 0.12 is very old.

@snaray12 - As @bebraw mentioned, it would be a good idea to update your node version. I'd recommend using something like NVM (node version manager). If you don't have it, you can just npm install nvm -g, or you can see more options here: https://github.com/creationix/nvm

After you install I'd recommend using any node version > 5. e.g. nvm install 6 or nvm install 7 and then nvm use 6 or nvm use 7

@bebraw @sturdynut I upgraded to 6.9.1 using nvm and tried. Still I did not had any luck.

@snaray12 - Not entirely sure why this isn't working for you. It looks like your node and npm versions are up to date. The error you are getting "ENOENT" is just a "No such directory error", which could mean folder, file, symlinks, etc. This leads me to think it is either related to permissions or something with running this command on your centos box. Is this a vagrant box?

One last thing to try:
sudo npm install git-prepush-hook

sturdynut commented

@snaray12 - I also just published a new version that wraps the install with a try/catch. Let me know how it goes.

snaray12 commented

@sturdynut I finally made it install.

My environment was built around Vagrant and NVM.

I suspect the issue is occurring because I was trying to install on a folder that is mounted into vagrant box.

When I changed the location out of the mounted path it worked.
