Unable to upgrade - slimerjs missing...?


I'm running on OSX (El Capitan) with node v5.0.0 and npm v3.3.9. if I attempt an upgrade:

npm upgrade

I get the error below:

npm WARN deprecated lodash@0.9.2: lodash@<2.0.0 is no longer
maintained. Upgrade to lodash@^3.0.0

I've tried uninstalling this slimerjs (whatever that is) both locally and globally but it still fails. if I look in the given directory there is indeed no 0.9.5 installed but I do find a 0.9.6

so what requires it and why isn't it satisfied with the later version? and most importantly, how do I fix it?


Solution

  • someone suggested 3.3.9 was rather behind the times. upgrading (now v.3.5.2) seemed to solve the problem:

    sudo npm install -g npm
