I am not able to install the particle dev local compiler because particle-dev-profiles is not found:

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.

Are you really on 0.10.40?

Try upgrading to 4.2.4+ :wink:

Was Particle Dev and CLI running that way?

Interesting. Not sure where that is coming from, this is what I have in my computer:

ACasas-mbp113:~ $ node --version
v4.3.1
ACasas-mbp113:~ $ npm --version
2.14.12

Could it be that you have an old version of node installed somewhere and the path used in this instance picks the wrong one?

I ended up downloading the package to ~/.particledev/packages and after installing a couple of dependencies, things worked.

Thanks @ScruffR!
