I see something something very similar:

apm install ink

I have the same problem.
I'm on Pop!_OS 19.10 (Ubuntu) with

$>atom -v
Atom    : 1.41.0
Electron: 4.2.7
Chrome  : 69.0.3497.128
Node    : 10.11.0

and

$>apm -v
apm  2.4.3
npm  6.2.0
node 10.2.1 x64
atom 1.41.0
python 3.7.2
git 2.20.1

The installation fails with the same error message @AxlRUI and @twadleigh above had:

$>apm install ink

Alright, thanks to some debugging with @fkastner, we now know that having a system npm installed might be causing the problems.

A couple of things you could try are:

• Uninstall npm before installing packages.
• Make sure npm isn't on your PATH before installing packages.
• Use apx to install julia-client and ink.

I don't know if any of the above work since I can't repro the bug, but please give them a go if time permits and report back.

[MHellmund]

Doesn't help for me. After
sudo mv /usr/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm.bak
I have no longer an npm in my $PATH, but I still got the same error as before and as reported above by fkastner

[pfitzseb]

Do you still have node on your path, and if you do, can you try removing that was well?

[fkastner]

FWIW I also tried removing both but it didn't help either.

[pfitzseb]

Did anyone give apx a try?

[MHellmund]

yes,

/usr/bin/npm install @aerijo/apx
~/node_modules/.bin/apx  install ink

worked without error.

[bramtayl]

apx worked for me too. Before I could install it I had to update npm to the latest version

[fkastner]

I tried it again today with a fresh install of atom 1.44.0 and it still doesn't work with the same error message.
Maybe we can get the atom developers to look at this again?

apx does work for me too.

On a fresh profile and new Atom installation on Debian 10 (buster), uber-juno installation fail similarly on ink:

error Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script 

with the the main errors in the log seems to be:

2222 verbose stack Error: [email protected] postinstall: `node scripts/postinstall.js`
2222 verbose stack Exit status 134

I indeed have an installation of Debian's node (v10.15.2) and npm (5.8.0).

@MHellmund shell commands to use apx worked for me as well. Thanks!
