Hi Tom,

I got the same thing when I did npm install... turned out to be a permissions problem. Try this:

cd /var/canvas
sudo mkdir node_modules
sudo chown canvasuser node_modules
sudo su canvasuser
npm install --production
exit

I forgot to mention, the version of npm that comes packaged with Precise is pretty old and may cause problems. You might want to upgrade node to a more recent version. I used ppa for this (you can also use nvm):

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge nodejs npm
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

This package has npm included in it and it worked great for me.

And just read another thread that says don't use the --production flag. The install instructions have been updated to include this as well P
