npm安装错误“无法读取未定义的属性'latest‘”

Question

我试图在npm的一个公认的旧版本上运行“npm install”命令，并遇到了以下问题，即使在运行“npm cache clean”之后，我们也在运行1.3.6版本，因为我们试图在硬件故障后重建现有软件。如有任何建议，我们将不胜感激。

很明显，"404“错误代码意味着npm没有从注册表中找到包。这是一个停滞不前的表演，还是有前进的方向？提前谢谢。

Answer 1

这上面TL;DR更新到了npm@2。

在撰写本文时，npm 1.3.6已经7岁了。它早就不受支持了，而且它与当前注册表不兼容的可能性很高。

相比之下，我注意到您运行的是Node.js 0.10.48，它“只”有四年的历史。虽然它也是长期不受支持的，但至少0.10.48是0.10行中的最新版本。所以这很好。

npm 0.10.48是随npm 2.x一起提供的，所以不知何故，您有一个比您使用的Node.js版本默认附带的版本旧的Node.js版本。这通常是机器上安装了多个版本的迹象，以及可能导致神秘错误的路径怪异。如果你能解决这个问题，它可能会在这里解决你的问题。

上面日志中列出的第一个依赖项是videojs-wavesurfer 2.11.0。我试着用Node.js 0.10.48和npm 1.3.6安装它。我收到一个证书错误，所以我(暂时)禁用了SSL证书验证。在这样做之后，我再次尝试，得到一个与您的错误类似的错误。

我更新到了npm@2，然后就可以顺利地安装这个包了。
