can't install node-sass for Ionic

Question

I'm trying to install node-sass for using with Ionic but it is not possible.

I'm using nvm with node v4.0.0 and npm 3.8.0 and when I run sudo npm install -g node-sass I get this error

$ sudo npm install -g node-sass
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: lodash@ /home/xx/.nvm/versions/node/v4.0.0/lib/node_modules/node-sass/bin/node-sass

> [email protected] install /home/xx/.nvm/versions/node/v4.0.0/lib/node_modules/node-sass
> node scripts/install.js

module.js:338
throw err;

Could you please help to solve this? it does not work either when using node v5.0.0

thanks

If you are using nvm, you don't need to use sudo. I just tried installing with npm install -g node-sass on my achine and evertyhing worked great. Try running npm cache clean if your problem persists — Fabio Antunes

@FabioAntunes thanks a lot! this solved my problem. I did npm cache clean and then installed it without sudo and worked :) — 1087427

Downgrade your node version to use node/0.12.10 ... You can use something like n to manage it..

npm install n

Did you try sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node? In my case this helped.
