Hi, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and just tried to install particle-api-js and particle-cli with node.js and when I try to run “particle <anything, including nothing>” I get a page full of errors: #particle Error loading command /home/smd75jr/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/particle-cli/commands/Subscri…

Can you install again using npm install -g particle-cli?

I initially used the method on the node.js website which says to run this: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs I just remove/purged that install and tried the one you linked and get the same results. Error loading command /home/smd75jr/.np…

Can you do a sudo rm -rf /home/smd75jr/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/particle-cli/* and then npm install -g particle-cli --verbose to see if there’s any errors?

Doesn’t show any errors on install, yet same result

Can you cd /home/smd75jr/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/particle-cli and do a node app.js

wondering what’s going on there… there’s a node_modules folder yeah?

Yup, whats really odd is that it runs beautifully in a Virtualbox Ubuntu 12.04 Server machine, but that’s not really an acceptable dev environment.

What version of Node is it? I’m pretty sure that the one in the Ubuntu repos for 12.04 is too old. Did you follow this?
