I use Mac OS Sierra 10.12.3

[jsilvermist]

I got a similar error when trying to update without uninstalling first, try:

[sudo] npm uninstall -g polymer-cli
[sudo] npm install -g polymer-cli@next

[tony19]

@dasodi FWIW, I'm on the same version of macOS and cannot reproduce the error you're seeing when installing polymer-cli@next. I recommend n or nvm to manage your node installations as non-root (which would obviate sudo).

[hkirk]

Using latest version of node, I get this error

Same errors as above. I have several lines of similar error messages and I've posted one below. I noticed that the build for the project is failing, so I don't know if that has an impact on this at all

@mmilutinovic1313 you're on npm version 1.4.3, you'll need to be on later version of npm (v3+ I believe) to be able to use the Polymer CLI.

@hkirk not sure what your issue is from that output, it says you're on npm version v4.1.2 which should support types. I cannot reproduce on that same version. Try this?

For everyone, we've found a lot more success with yarn on the Polymer team. I'd recommend it if you're having trouble with npm.

[mmilutinovic1313]

@FredKSchott it worked when I switched my version to 4.1.2 via nvm use 4.1.2. Thank you!

[FredKSchott]

@mmilutinovic1313 from your logs:

npm ERR! node -v v7.7.3
npm ERR! npm -v 1.4.3

Not sure how you got into that situation, since node v7 ships with npm v4. You may want to reinstall your version v7.7.3, otherwise you're almost guarenteed to run into future node issues.

[mmilutinovic1313]

@FredKSchott will having used the nvm use 4.1.2 command fix that issue in the future? When I did that it installed polymer-cli properly .

[FredKSchott]

maybe, not sure. nvm uninstall + nvm install may work

[Temeteron]

Got in the same situation for a newer version of npm. I couldn't install polymer-cli with the following node and npm versions installed:

node -v: v7.x.x
npm  -v: v5.x.x

The solution is to downgrade npm to version 4.x.x

[codebugcode]

I had npm5 installed thanks @Temeteron Finally got it to work...

Wish they would mention this on the docs:
https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/docs/tools/polymer-cli

Especially when it says on step 2 to updated to the latest npm version...

[tomsanders]

same issue here for even newer versions of node and npm. I could not install polymer-cli with these node and npm versions:

node -v: v8.x.x
npm -v: v5.3.x

[frankbe]

same issue here for even newer versions of node and npm (under arch linux) ...

node -v: v8.7.0
npm -v: 5.5.1
