Phonegap Installation

Question

Hi I'm about to install phonegap on my MAC OSX 10.9 Before I have a Appcelerator Titanium installed on my machine then I removed it because of some reasons.

I have Node and NPM installed on my machine and I install phonegap using:

$ sudo npm install -g phonegap

then this is a weird thing after phonegap installed:

It creates a Titanium Studio folder in my Applications. Please respond if you know how to fix this. I can't run phonegap on my machine.

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mime/1.2.6 npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/mime/1.2.6 /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local/bin/phonegap -> /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js [email protected] /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phonegap

Answer 1

Running npm get prefix will show the current prefix setting, which likely contains both the Titanium and phonegap directories. npm set prefix /usr/local/bin/phonegap will likely fix this for you.

Answer 2

After executing npm -g install phonegap Output: 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/keypress /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local/bin/phonegap -> /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js [email protected] /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phonegap

I have Titanium Studio (appcelerator) installed, and it uses node.js too.

After executing npm get prefix /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local

which npm /usr/local/bin/npm

After executing npm set prefix /usr/local/bin/phonegap nothing apparently happens but try again npm get prefix and then

Then retry with sudo nom get prefix: /usr/local/bin/phonegap

Install again phonegap: now execute phonegap -bash: phonegap: command not found

Then cd /usr/local/bin/phonegap/bin and phonegap is there

Execute ./phonegap and the output is OK

The phonegap is not in the path

Then the problem is the prefix of de npm cause Titanium Studio installed. Remember the old prefix of npm get prefix /Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/Applications/Titanium Studio/TitaniumStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/Password:/usr/local

Set your prefix to /usr/local and try installing phonegap again

NPM install -g not working after Titanium install

Probably appears a message like Refusing to delete: /usr/local/bin/phonegap not in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phonegap

Don't worry, exec /usr/local/bin/phonegap

and then you will see you can execute phonegap command

If I have problems with Titanium updates I will edit this post
