Node-sass: Node sass package fails to install

Created on 23 Sep 2015 · 9Comments · Source: sass/node-sass

I tried to generate the Yeoman backbone generator. Here's what it's trying to tell me.

$ yo backbone

Can you upgrade to [email protected]? Just npm install node-sass.

Indreks-MBP% npm node-sass -v

Also tried the following:

Indreks-MBP% sudo npm install [email protected]

Doesn't seem to upgrade it. I searched a little on google but didn't find a fix yet.

Indreks-MBP% sudo npm install node-sass
Binary is fine; exiting.
[email protected] node_modules/node-sass

Everything is fine ^^

(...)

Indreks-MBP% npm node-sass -v
2.14.1

This is your npm version, not node-sass's.

Ah, sorry about that. That was embarrassing. Anyways I updated my Node, NPM and sass-node to the latest versions out there. Deleted my dir, refreshed terminals.

Then tried again:

$ yo backbone

I get the same error.

Is the cause somehow by my end? Is the yo generator trying to fetch somewhat outdated sass-node? I installed the node-sass 3.3.3 globally.
