Issues installing NPM Packages

[peterberwind]

For some reason the Foundation CLI throws me an error about not being able to download NPM packages when I try to create a new site:

There were some problems during the installation.

 ✓ New project folder created.
 ✗ Node modules not installed. Try running npm install manually.
 ✓ Bower components installed.

Once you've resolved the above issues, run foundation watch while inside the what-does-it-cost folder.

I'm using nvm, and have tried with node version 4.4.5 and 6.2.1.

PeterMacBookPro% node -v
v6.2.1
PeterMacBookPro% npm -v
3.9.3

Any ideas what could be causing this?

[builtbyvern]

Seconding this. I have the exact same errors being thrown.

[remy-actual]

Encountered the same today. I use https with credential.helper=osxkeychain for git authentication, not ssh keys.
Git, NodeJS and NPM run fine on my system.

Suspect this is relevant

[peterberwind]

@remy-actual / @builtbyvern Did you end up having any luck on this?

[ghost]

I have the very same issue! Wonder how this can be resolved?

[bbonora]

I have the same issue. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I'm having the same issue. +1

I don't think this is an issue with the foundation cli. It's a problem with the foundation zurb template. The template requires the 4.0 branch of https://github.com/gulp/gulp-cli, which doesn't exist anymore.

This pull request requires gulp-cli-1.2.1 from npmjs.com instead of branch 4.0 from github: https://github.com/zurb/foundation-zurb-template/pull/41

With the above pull request applied, I can create new projects like so: git clone https://github.com/zurb/foundation-zurb-template projectname cd projectname npm install bower install

[chrisdpeters]

To fix an existing project, open your Foundation project's package.json, find the entry for gulp-cli, and change it to read like this:

"gulp-cli": "^1.2.1",

Then run npm install.

[webshru]

change package.json: "gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0" =====> "gulp": "^3.9.1"

[code4jhon]

within package.json change:

"gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0",

to

"gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#v4.0.0",
