well to install locally, need to cd (change directory) into the folder you want the package to go too and then npm install while in the target folder.

Update / Reinstall NodeJS and that should resolve the issue. Ensure that python 2.7 (version under 3.0 but above 2.5) is installed.

what's the error it gives you? does your error have anything to do with xcodebuild? if so try running this command before installing it

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

If upgrading xcode and its command line tool doesn't work for you, you can fix it with a temp solution:

$ cd /usr/local/lib $ sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib
