Npm-check-updates: Problem running ncu on OS X

• [ x] I have read the list of known issues before filing this issue.

• node version: v6.11.2

• npm version: 5.3.0
• npm-check-updates version: error

---

On windows & linux I have everything working as expected. However, on OS X, not so much.
When calling ncu or npm-check-updates from command line i get.

Error: Cannot find module 'ansi'
After installing with npm install -g ansi i get
Error: Cannott find module 'lodash.pad' after installing that it goeson with 'lodash.padon' missing and it goes on.

I tried installing: browser sync with npm install -g browser-sync because the packages above seem to fall under that package... but it didn't work

Hi! Thanks for reporting. I'm sorry you are experiencing difficulties. I am
running OSX and unfortunately I can't reproduce the issues you are
experiencing. This leads me to believe that it is not a problem with
npm-check-updates, but npm, which occasionally does not install
dependencies correctly and leads to problems like this. If you can send a
repo in which this is reproduced, I would be happy to troubleshoot,
otherwise there might not be much I can do! You may have to play around
with your node and npm installation to get it to work. Try doing a full
uninstall and re-install of ncu, and then if that doesn't work possibly
doing that for node.

I got it fixed. I don't know how exactly, but you were right. I think it happened when I downgraded my nodejs + npm.

So, if anyone else runs into this. Just.

• npm uninstall -g npm-check-updates
• npm cache clean --force
• npm i -g npm-check-updates

Thanks for the response, great tool!

having the same issue on OSX. no problems on ubuntu. I know it's not a very good fix but hopefully this will help someone else. Add the following to your bashrc.

PATH=$PATH:/Users/__YOUR_USERNAME_/npm_global/lib/node_modules/npm-check-updates/bin

then, source ~/.bashrc
