404 Not Found - node-gyp

Question

This morning I've been diving into the wonderful (and quite frustrating) world of NodeJS. I'm now wanting to install node-restify and, after a bit of research, now realise I need to install a package called node-gyp (https://www.npmjs.org/package/node-gyp) to make this happen.

However, npm install -g node-gyp comes back in my NodeJS with a 404 Not Found - node-gyp is not in the npm system registry error, brilliant!

Can anyone advise as to why this is, other than the obvious? And potentially any workarounds?

One of the errors comes out: 25 http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nope-gyp (404) — Chris Dixon, Aug 07 '14 at 07:22

You need to install node-gyp with the command

 npm install -g node-gyp

instead of

npm-install -g node-gyp

and then restify by

npm install restify

Sorry, typo in my main post, I'm using npm install, not npm-install. Still coming up with 404. – Chris Dixon Aug 07 '14 at 07:15
