Chapter 2, page 23 - make is not in the npm registry

[Tkauran]

Hello all,

I am currently getting the following errors

tkauran@ubuntu:~/authentication/test$ sudo npm install make test
npm WARN package.json authentication@0.0.1 No README.md file found!
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/make
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/test

I have read the errors, and as obvious as the errors are, I cannot really come up with a solution.
I tried jake instead of make (and a few others) as the npm registry had those others options, but
nothing seemed to work.

Would anyone be able to provide me with a solution if possible? Would be greatly appreciated
and I hope this thread can help others who run into the same issue down the track, as I
noticed none of the other threads mentioned this particular issue with any solutions.

Regards,
tkauran

Sorry for the tardy response. make is not part of Node.js. You are using Linux and it should be there as part of a default installation. If you just type 'make' into a terminal it should work

Thanks for the reply Don,

I forgot all about this thread I made, since the post I have solved the problem, I already had make installed, I forget exactly what the fix was, but it was somewhat stupid on my part I think.
