Can't install shelljs locally instead of globally

[facundofarias]

As specified on the documentation (http://documentup.com/arturadib/shelljs), I tried installing shelljs locally (given that the option [-g] looks optional), but I am having this issue on the console:

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.
npm WARN package.json [email protected] No README data
npm WARN install Refusing to install shelljs as a dependency of itself

Is this behavior by design? Should I install shelljs always globally?
Thanks

However, if I put shelljs on the package.json file, and then run npm install, it works.

@facundofarias is this still an issue?

I've had no issues installing shelljs locally (whether as part of package.json or otherwise), so I'll gladly assist if possible. What are the shell commands you're running?

The issue was filed two years ago. If it cannot be reproduced, then yes, it can be closed :)

Thanks!
