[bahmutov]

what happens if you use newer npm version? 2.14 is very old and probably does not understand scoped dependencies.

[Kikobeats]

npm install -g manpm

btw I'm surprised because you consider npm bundle in node LTS too old

[bahmutov]

same error? hmm that is very weird. I just guessed that 2.14 has problems with scoped names

[bahmutov]

Try [email protected] ?

[Kikobeats]

too :S

hmm, that is very very weird!
what does npm info @bahmutov/parse-github-repo-url do? Is there a problem with npm registry proxy perhaps?

[Kikobeats]

npm info @bahmutov/parse-github-repo-url looks well. I'm not using a proxy

[bahmutov]

Ok, then let us try doing npm i -g manpm --verbose

[bahmutov]

damn, this is why I suspect something is not kosher with your npm version (?).
What I don't understand why it prints the argv as [iojs] and uses "/usr/local/bin/npm" instead of going through the user folder. Are you using NVM to switch versions?
Here is what I would expect from npm info command

[Kikobeats]

I use n for switch version, but what happens?

[bahmutov]

not sure what n does. I am afraid in this case, you will need to hunt down the versions and the actual code that does not understand the scoped dependency name
