Errors installing with latest uglify-js (2.2.1) about groc HOT 2 OPEN

I ran into this problem too and it turns out it's because I was using an older node.js version.

npm ERR! Required: {"node":">=0.8.0"}
npm ERR! Actual: {"npm":"1.1.4","node":"0.6.12"}

You can fix this by upgrading to a newer version of node.js. I recommend using nvm to manage your node versions.

I haven't run into this issue in any projects since, but it sounds like it may still be an issue? I deleted my old fork, but I believe the problem arises because groc's package.json uses >= for all of its dependencies. So if a dependent project creates a new release which requires node 0.10., but groc still requires 0.8. the install will fail on that dependency. Not a huge issue, but can be confusing.

Freezing dependency versions would fix this, or limiting updates to minor releases/patches. This (old) article from Nodejitsu does a decent job of explaining it.

(Also if you check my console output, I am using nvm 😛)
