Fix npm symlink problem in Vagrant

Today I encountered weird symlink error when trying to install npm modules on my Vagrant Ubuntu Box. The error says “pm ERR! Error: UNKNOWN, symlink ‘../which/bin/which’“.

After quick Google, it turns out the problem is caused by npm trying to create symlink which is not supported on Windows ( I am using Windows 8 as my host machine ).

Here is quick solution which allow you to install npm modules without creating any symlinks :

1
npm install --no-bin-link
