NodeJS“npm更新-g npm”以“错误:拒绝删除”失败(通过包安装，而不是homebrew)

While trying to fix a JPG compatibility issue, I'm running into the following error when trying to update npm on my Mac OSX (Yosemite). Note that I did not install via homebrew, instead via the official package. (I'm using version 0.10.37 to counteract yet another NPM package issue).

在试图修复JPG兼容性问题时，我在试图更新Mac OSX (Yosemite)上的npm时遇到了以下错误。注意，我不是通过自制程序安装的，而是通过官方程序包安装的。(我使用的是0.10.37版本，以抵消另一个NPM包问题)。

Here are the steps I take:

以下是我采取的步骤:

brew uninstall node and brew uninstall npm to be triple-sure Node is not present on my system via Homebrew. The output is as expected, Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/node

brew uninstall node和brew uninstall npm是三重肯定节点，我的系统上没有Homebrew。输出如预期的那样，错误:没有这样的keg: /usr/local/Cellar/node
Download the package from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.37/ and install it.

从http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.37/下载这个包并安装它。
node -v to verify that Node is installed.

节点-v，以验证已安装该节点。
npm update -g npm

npm更新- g npm

And here's the output from that last command:

这是最后一个命令的输出:

$ npm update -g npm
npm ERR! Refusing to delete: /usr/local/share/man/man3/npm-bin.3 not in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
File exists: /usr/local/share/man/man3/npm-bin.3
Move it away, and try again.

npm ERR! not ok code 0

When I delete the above mentioned file and try again, I get another error because the npm command no longer exists. It looks like the update partially succeeded in that the npm command was deleted:

当我删除上面提到的文件并再次尝试时，我得到另一个错误，因为npm命令不再存在。看起来更新部分成功了，npm命令被删除了:

$ npm
-bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory

When I search for this "Refusing to delete" error, I see tons of advice for how to fix a botched Homebrew install (plus some unnecessarily condescending instructions on how to remove the Homebrew package. But I'm not installing the package via homebrew; the advice I'm finding there doesn't seem relevant in my case.

当我搜索这个“拒绝删除”的错误时，我看到了大量关于如何修复拙劣的Homebrew安装的建议(以及一些不必要的关于如何删除Homebrew软件包的居高临下的说明)。但我不是通过homebrew安装软件包;我发现的建议似乎与我的情况无关。

How should I go about troubleshooting this? Anyone else know of / have this problem / can think of a quick fix?

我应该如何进行故障排除?有人知道/有这个问题/能想出一个快速的解决办法吗?

Thanks in advance!

提前谢谢!

2 个解决方案

#1

This isn't a complete answer, but just to follow up I found a way to work around this issue.

这不是一个完整的答案，但是为了跟进，我找到了解决这个问题的方法。

My ultimate need was to get node running with the package resemble installed. Resemble relies on cairo, which was installed via homebrew; it seems that this was my first mistake. Because Cairo was apparently improperly installed, a couple packages were missing; this forced me to use one workaround that triggered other errors and required other workarounds... and so forth.

我的最终需求是让node运行与包相似的安装。like依赖于cairo，它是通过homebrew安装的;这似乎是我的第一个错误。由于Cairo安装不当，因此丢失了两个包;这迫使我使用一个触发其他错误的解决方案，并需要其他的解决方案……等等。

When I removed the Cairo homebrew package and instead built Cairo from source (using this guide), several other errors I was having just melted away.

当我删除Cairo自制程序包，而是从源代码(使用本指南)构建Cairo时，我又犯了几个错误。

So the lesson I'm learning is: Don't use Homebrew for anything finnicky, or for any dependencies of anything finnicky.

所以我学到的教训是:不要用自制的东西来做任何事情，或者任何事情的依赖。

#2

I solve it by this:

我这样解它:

rm /usr/bin/npm
/usr/lib64/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install npm -g
npm -v # success !
