In my circleci file I also run my docker container to check that it builds correctly, but something fails when trying to install a module with npm… so here are the logs from circleci build ```auto $ docker-compose run -d --no-deps app Building app...

So far I can continue with node@4.2.2 and I don’t know if this could be an issue with CircleCI itself or not. I know there is a weird issue on node when installing in Docker [https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/9863](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/9863) that’s all I have thanks. ---

You must have added this in path variable: "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node\_modules\npm\bin" remove this and add simply “C:\Program Files\nodejs” ---

I don’t think that is the issue. 1st of all this is not running on windows. 2nd node is being installed from the official docker image. 3rd the error is npmlog module not found, so is not an error when trying to execute a bin so I think it has to be with the host machine or something like that. ---

Nope, I don’t remember how but at some point I never had this issue anymore and everything works just fine and awesome ---
