Using the dead simple tutorial on Heroku's website and when I run git push heroku master
I receive the following error:

npm not ok

My package.json is:
{
"name": "node-example",
"version": "0.0.1",
"dependencies": {
"express": "2.2.0"
}
}
There's absolutely nothing wrong with my JSON, which I got from their tutorial, because when I run it locally, it works great. Why am I getting this error?
I get the feeling this would have had the answer
npm ERR! Additional logging details can be found in:

Try adding the whole content in package.json as provided by Heroku tutorial.... I also got the same error, it was removed by adding engines.
`{
"name": "app-name",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"express": "~2.5.8",
"ejs": "~0.7.1",
"socket.io": "~0.9.6"
},
"engines": {
"node": "0.6.x"
}
}`
try a newer version of Node.js
