Installation or require problem

[Robin]

Hi,

I am getting and odd error when I try to install jsdom, see below...

$ npm install jsdom

npm WARN install Refusing to install jsdom as a dependency of itself

Can anyone tell me if/what I'm doing wrong?

I took that to mean everything was peachy and tried the following basic code...

var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom;

...but it just failed with the following error...

module.js:340

    throw err;

          ^

Error: Cannot find module 'request'

    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

    at Module.require (module.js:362:17)

    at require (module.js:378:17)

    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/robin/Downloads/jsdom/lib/jsdom.js:5:16)

    at Module._compile (module.js:449:26)

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:467:10)

    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)

    at Module.require (module.js:362:17)

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What version of npm/Node are you running?

I  have actually resolved this issue now thanks.

For anyone else that might get stuck: my problem was misunderstanding the installation instructions. I got the jsdom code using git then from the jsdom directory tried doing the npm install, which is why I got the problem. What I should have done is not bother with the git step and as the only installation step run "npm install jsdom"
