There's a bug in npm@3 (apparently fixed in 3.3.7, though I haven't verified it myself yet) that results in optionalDependencies not being treated as optional, which is what is happening here.

See #1722, #1685, strongloop/strongloop#253, and finally npm/npm#9643.

You should either upgrade to npm@next (currently 3.3.8) or downgrade to npm@2.

Unrelated, you should also upgrade node to v4.2.1, especially if you happen to be using mysql (see mysqljs/mysql#1236, nodejs/node#3331).

@ghatwala once you've had a chance to confirm, please close this issue if my comment above resolves your problem.

I'm also seeing same issue on Ubuntu 15.04

Hi ,

I have tried the downgrade to npm 2 , but problem still persists.
Could you let me know the best fit versions of npm , node which helps in installing strongloop ?

@ghatwala what is the error message when installing using npm 2?

[heralight]

work well with node v5.0.0 (npm v3.3.12) on ubuntu 14.04
nvm install 5
run this : npm install -g strongloop --no-optional

[EthraZa]

Just have the same problem installing on an Amazon Linux with nvm.
Using 4.2.2 is a no go to install Strongloop.
Using 5.0.0 it installed ok. But I don't yet found how to get the slc command line working!

@ghatwala @EthraZa @mattwoolnough Are you guys still running into issues? Can I close this?
