I am having problems getting the following command to work. I posted to the steroids.js forums, but this seems to be more of a generic git problem. All the repo's with a leading "git@" on the url fail.

command

npm install steroids -g

errors

npm ERR! git clone https://[email protected]/AppGyver/incubator-ripple.git Cloning into bare repository '/Users/kbaker/.npm/_git-remotes/https-git-github-com-AppGyver-incubator-ripple-git-2c417fa2'...

I downloaded the github repo of the below npm package, adjusted the packages.json file to use repo url's that do not fail and I am still getting errors about missing packages.

I've tried updating npm and git commands. Could this have somethign to do with the fact that I'm running zsh?

Thoughts?

Your clone url is incorrect. You're using:

https://[email protected]/AppGyver/incubator-ripple.git

Either use ssh:

[email protected]:AppGyver/incubator-ripple.git

or https:

https://github.com/AppGyver/incubator-ripple.git

but not both
