So it doesn't exist? I.e not checked in? Can you check if it's in the source?

in core

$ find deps/npm/ -name github-url-from-git
$

same as #3494 I suppose

[evanlucas]

Is that even a dependency still?

[evanlucas]

strange, RC1 works fine for me on OS X

[targos]

Is it possible to install it with nvm ? cc @ljharb

[ljharb]

@targos sadly I haven't yet had time to finish implementing it. Follow progress at nvm-sh/nvm#779

[iarna]

That module isn't used by npm@3 at all (it was supplanted by the more general hosted-git-info)....

I'd love to know what module your npm-debug.log says was trying to load it.

[iarna]

(#3494 is caused by node's .gitignore including super broad patterns that include files required by npm, so definitely not related.)

[Fishrock123]

I am unable to reproduce on windows with a basic setup, and it also seems to work fine for @evanlucas.

@rvagg I think this is on your end.

[targos]

I am also unable to reproduce on OSX

[rvagg]

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and reinstalling fixed for me, would love an explanation of why I might have been hit with this to know if this might be a general problem with v5.0.0 when goes out? perhaps a particular upgrade path (I'm experimenting with different options now)

[Fishrock123]

Maybe related to #3606
