install failure

[federicobucchi]

After the command:

npm install -g devtools-terminal

I get:

Okay, if you guys could read, you would notice that there are clear instructions on what to do in such circumstances:

[hengkiardo]

@petethepig should put it on documentation / README?

Well I am a bit confused here because I seem to be able to compile pty.js when I cd there and run make. Is there something I need to do with npm to force it to update. /usr/local/lib/lib/node_modules/pty.js/$ make

however installing devtools-terminal still fails /usr/local/lib/lib/node_modules/pty.js/$ npm install -g devtools-terminal

Now I don't know much about npm/node but the interesting piece to me is right here install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/devtools-terminal/node_modules/pty.js

It looks like it's trying to install pty.js into devtools-terminal/node_modules instead of using the one already compiled on my system? I'm going to open up a ticket on pty.js

I'm using homebrew to install node if that means anything
