I've been strugging to get this set up all day and keep ending up with the same issue... I wonder if anyone can help and I'm totally stuck. I've installed node.js and NPM using brew on my mac, that all seems to be working well and I got it running without any errors (eventually!)

Running npm install for you....
Then I get the following errors (partial error result as its too long for this...450 lines!):
Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c cd mean && npm install

Can anyone point me in the right direction I'm a newby to this and very confused as to why it's not working!!! I've tried removing everything and re-installing but I'm still hitting a brick wall at this point.
After battling with this all day I figured out the answer right after posting... The issue is with the node version wanted: {"node":">=0.8 <=0.12 || >=1 <=2"}
To fix this you need to....
$ brew tap homebrew/versions$ brew search node will show you a list of versions you can use. Choose the best one for you and brew unlink node to make sure it's unlinked then finally$ brew install node010 to install the 0.10 version of Node.JS
