npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm

Question

I am installing node.js on a CentOS 7 server, and am getting the following error when I try to install yeoman:

npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package          


        

Answer 1

The problem is that the version of npm that is bundled with the "latest stable" version of node does not properly install some of our npm packages. To fix this, open a command prompt and run:

npm -g install npm

To update npm to the latest version. This should fix the problem.
