What / Why

npm: v5.8.0, v6.13.4

When

  • happens when using "... install -g git+https://..."
  • happens with all repos, public or private, but ultimately I'm trying to solve this for private repos
  • happens whether I use "sudo -H" or if switch to root user and run directly

Where

  • n/a

How

Current Behavior

  • fails to install global packages from GitHub

Steps to Reproduce

  • run the following command
sudo -H npm install -g git+https://github.com/richRemer/pool.git

Expected Behavior

  • it should work the same as running:
git clone https://github.com/richRemer/pool.git
sudo -H npm install -g $(npm pack pool/)
