NPN Packages Global install on centos

[jacinto123]

I have copied a pasted the code from the readme file:

package { 'express':
ensure => present,
provider => 'npm',
}

and I keep getting the following error:
Error: /Stage[main]//Package[express]: Provider npm is not functional on this host

It appears to install on the machine because when I get in I can do npm install or npm -v

I am using:
Node: 0.10.22
Npm: 1.3.14
Centos 6.4

Any ideas of whats going on? Am I missing something that is not in the readme?

I'm getting the same error.

I think it's because the npm package isn't available in the CentOS repositories. However the project site states that it should work on RedHat, and CentOS is a derivative of RedHat.

Any help or input would be nice.

Okay, I was a bit too quick on the trigger there. I got the following to work. note the manage_repo flag.

  class { 'nodejs':
    manage_repo  => true
  }

  package { 'jshint':
    provider => 'npm'
  }

I get the following error when I try this:

Error: Invalid parameter manage_repo at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/base.pp:

Also experiencing this problem, just started in the last week or two. I'm running both EPEL and REMI package sources, so npm is definitely available, and it does successfully install:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Nodejs/Package[nodejs]/ensure: created
Notice: /Stage[main]/Nodejs/Package[npm]/ensure: created

If I re-run the provisioning then the npm modules install fine, so this might be an order of operations issue.

Whatever the problem was, it should no longer be occurring.
