Troubleshooting topojson on ubuntu

I am trying to install topojson following the instructions of Mike Bostock Let Make a Map http://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/ and I believe that I managed to get the latest version of Node.js and npm. $ which runs ogr2ogr. I am completely new to programming and Ubuntu and sincerely appreciate some thorough help regarding why npm install topojson -g gives the following errors. When I try to run the same command with sudo, it gives errors like: npm ERR! json and gyp ERR registry error analysis! stack Error: "pre" node versions cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead

Thanks!

Check the version of node.js first - use the stable version, not the devel version. Second, call the npm command as root.

 $ sudo npm install -g topojson

So far, when I switched my node.js to the stable version, installing TopoJSON works well. Thank you for attention.

I encountered this error when installing topojson (Debian 3.2.0-4-amd64). My steps to get things working (also discussed here ).

Install node v 0.11.10

 git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git cd node git checkout v0.11.10 ./configure && make sudo make install

Uninstall debian gyp and install via npm:

 sudo apt-get remove gyp npm install -g gyp

Explicit context setting, although this was already an installed version.

 npm install contextify@0.1.7

then topojson installation should work

 sudo npm install -g topojson
