installing ember-cli on ubuntu. ember new app fails silently

I am planing to switch my ember development to ubuntu 12.04. I am new to it. It seems I have installed node and ember-cli properly, but ember new a does not do anything and fails silently.

rigel@ rigel:/$ ember --version
0.2.8
rigel@rigel:/$ npm--version
1.4.23
rigel@ rigel:/$ node -v
v0.10.31
rigel@rigel:/$ember new a
rigel@ rigel:/$

The above mentioned information might be less than is needed to troubleshoot the problem, but I need some pointers to figure out what else I should be looking at.

node on ubuntu is stupid, ubuntu chose to install that dumb million year non nodejs package. If you run it sudo'd does it partially work? If so it's probably a permissions issue with your node/npm installation. – Kingpin2k
I think if it was permission issues it would likely have outputted some EACCES errors. I think @Oliver is correct in that you installed the wrong packaged (ember-tools). ember-cli is currently on version 0.0.40. Olivers answer – wenincode

Looks like you installed ember-tools instead of ember-cli.

Make sure you get rid of ember-tools:

npm uninstall -g ember-tools

and make sure you have the latest version of ember-cli installed:

npm install -g ember-cli

Your versions there (particularly for ember) are pretty old. I've found nvm to work pretty well to install node and its modules in your homedir, rather than relying on what the OS packages can provide.

$ nvm current
v0.11.13
$ node -v
v0.11.13
$ npm -v
2.0.0-alpha-5
$ ember --version
version: 0.0.40
node: 0.11.13
npm: 1.5.0-alpha-4
