npm install -g [email protected] leads to missing dependency "portastic"

Trying to install the latest stable (pre-beta) edgemicro leads to a missing portastic dependency.

$ sudo npm install -g [email protected]
[sudo] password for kowalskif: 
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=5.0.0 <6.0.0"} (current: {"node":"4.4.3","npm":"2.15.1"})

> [email protected] install /usr/local/node-v4.4.3-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/edgemicro/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> node scripts/install.js

/usr/local/node-v4.4.3-linux-x64/bin/edgemicro -> /usr/local/node-v4.4.3-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/edgemicro/cli/edgemicro

[...]
├── [email protected] ([email protected])
└── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected])

Then trying to get the help message leads to an error:

$ edgemicro --help

    throw err;
    ^

BTW, same problem with 2.10-beta:

npm ERR! missing: portastic@^1.0.1, required by [email protected]

[asnowfix]

Going all the way back to 2.0.4 also produces the same result.

@asnowfix Apologies. We've been testing on node v6.x. When this dependency was added (here: ee55209), there was no update to npm-shrinkwrap.json to include portastic. The behavior of NPM appears to have changed when this scenario is encountered. With newer version of NPM (3.x), edgemicro doesn't encounter this issue. I'll work on a fix and get it published.

@asnowfix Please try [email protected] or [email protected]. Thanks.

Works fine: talks & answers ;-)

I tried [email protected] using Node.js LTS (a slightly modified container version).
