Installation of roots doesn't work

I'm trying to install roots but it's not working. I'm running the command mentioned on the website:

curl roots.cx/get | sh

but I'm getting the following error:

\e[31m✘\e[0m \e[1mlooks like you need to install or update node.js.\e[0m

I do have node.js installed (v 0.8.16) and it can be run from the command line.

Any idea what the issue could be?

Solution

  • Looks like the install script is broken. You can just install roots via npm:

    npm install roots -g
