Installing fails due to an incompatible typescript version.

It probably isn't relevant, but this was after setting a non-ssl registry using npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/.

Also, I realize that this might be an issue with tern itself, not the vim plugin, but that's where I saw this issue. I can move this issue to the tern repository if desired.

For me, running npm install in the tern_for_vim directory works just fine. Maybe try clearing your npm cache (or upgrading if your npm is old -- I had weirdness like this when using an old npm once).

Oh I bet it's that: I have an old version of npm. I was trying to install this on an older Ubuntu 12.04 machine:

❯ npm --version
1.1.4

Locally, I have version 2.1.17. I'll try to get a newer version of npm and retry. Thanks for looking into this.

Installing on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine where the npm package version is 1.3.10 works just fine. Thanks for taking a look and sorry for the false alarm. Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this issue with an older version of npm.
