Npm install: grunt does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements

[RocAlayo]

I just created a new app and npm install doesn't succeed installing all the dependencies, I get this:

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package grunt does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!

Before creating the app I updated all the packages in NPM so when I check my version of GruntJS I get this:

$ npm -g list grunt

I supose I have a problem with all that npm WARN unmet dependency but I don't know how to fix it.

[JaKXz]

Try npm cache clean and try install again.

[RocAlayo]

Same as before. Although tasks of grunt seem to work correctly, I tried grunt serve and grunt build and they work fine.

[JaKXz]

Strange. Try npm install -g npm yo bower

Otherwise stackoverflow would be your best bet.

[RocAlayo]

Now I have a new set of errors but I realize that this errors doesn't have anything to do with the generator so thanks for your help I will search in stackoverflow.

[meeDamian]

Yeah, I'm getting the same error all of the time. No idea what's the cause, but I'm quite sure it isn't this generator. I'd be glad to hear a solution, if someone has it, though :)

[RocAlayo]

I finally fixed it by uninstalling node, npm and all the configurations that they saved in my mac and reinstalling it afterwards. Now is working fine. This post in stackoverflow helped me to find all the pieces that node leave in the system. :)

[sebastien-worms]

FYI : I had the same problem and resolved it by running a :

brew update
brew upgrade
npm remove -g grunt

and removing my Grunt, Bower local directories.
and re-installing it all.
Didn't have the time to find precisely where it came from.

Hope it helps.

[droidenator]

I also had this problem and the following worked for me

npm update -g

I'm assuming that uninstalling everything and then re-installing is probably accomplishing something along the same lines.

[glencoates]

@droidenator worked for me too ... thanks for that

[uxdxdev]

npm update -g worked for me, thanks.

[jared-cxz]

I got similar error when I run grunt install on Bamboo. By adding "grunt": "~0.4.5" into the dependencies section in package.json, it was fixed.

[arielcalcano]

both, npm cache clean and npm update -g worked for me. Thanks.

[bplv112]

This is the best solution.

npm cache clean
npm update -g

[victorsj1]

None of these solutions worked for me. Still the same crap.

[cozyartz]

I'm having this issue running imageoptim. I haven't been able to figure it out after trying everything mentioned above.

[victorsj1]

This is getting frustrating because absolutely NOTHING is working. Why on earth was this garbage pushed out!? :<

[blee19]

Something that worked for me was running:

npm install grunt@~0.4.0

[victorsj1]

I did that after deleleting all of the artifacts on the node_modules folder and reinstalling npm. Then it worked.

[DanWallaceAdslot]

I had to
npm remove grunt
npm install grunt@~1.0.1
If I didn't specify the version with the ~, it wouldn't work

[fiazmr]

I changed grunt-sass version inside package.json to ^3.0.0 but failed then with ^2.0.0 it worked
