Getting into the angular phonecat demo<\/a>, in windows, and early on hit a snag.<\/p>\n

This one was from trying to update karma<\/a>, a TDD framework for angular powered by node.js<\/p>\n

Seemed pretty straight forward from what I have learnt from node so far.<\/p>\n

npm install karma<\/pre>\n
Nothing like error messages from an unfamiliar environment to make you sit up in your chair.<\/p>\n

After I quick google search, with nothing initially, I realised I have some something really weird, that caused a error the likes of which no one has ever seen, or the solution was starting me in the face.<\/p>\n
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer karma@0.10.10 wants karma-requirejs@~0.2.0<\/pre>\n
...like that.<\/p>\n
npm install karma-requirejs<\/pre>\n
Karma then installed.<\/p>\n
However, then the test.bat as part of the angular tutorial, which runs the karma command in DOS, returned this old favourite.<\/p>\n
'karma' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\noperable program or batch file.<\/pre>\n
Before clogging up my PATH variable, the -g (--global) variable in npm install came to mind.<\/p>\n
However this did not work, even after first uninstalling the package.<\/p>\n
Though, this time a\u00a0\u00a0Stackoverflow answer<\/a>\u00a0at the top of google let me know that at least this time I was not so alone.<\/p>\n
