npm install returns no valid versions available for pinkie-promise

Question

I am trying to do a very simple \"npm install\" from one of the repos found from a tutorial found here

The package.json is as follows:

{
  \"name\":          


        

Answer 1

A work around is to npm install pinkie-promise by pointing to their github repo.

npm install https://github.com/floatdrop/pinkie-promise.git

Answer 2
