I'm unclear, is it possible to install appjs using npm on a mac?
The appjs distributable works fine, but I wanted to package up the app.
The following:
node --harmony data/app.js
Returns:
/Users/richard/Downloads/app/data/node_modules/appjs/lib/bindings.js:9
throw new Error("AppJS requires Node.js v0.8");
^

I installed node from source in 32 bit mode:
./configure --dest-cpu=ia32
make
sudo make install
I assumed the issue above is because the appjs distributable version is out of sync with my local node version. So I tried installing appjs using npm, which returned the following:
npm install appjs

npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/appjs

Is OS X not supported at the moment or am I doing something wrong?
npm install OS X install is currently marked as broken (https://github.com/appjs/appjs)

Also there seems to be a bug in App.js version check https://github.com/appjs/appjs/issues/328
Please check below note from AppJs as well
"AppJS requires 32bit Node on OS X. It works on 64bit OS X but Node must be 32bit. We're working on solving this, but it's a limitation of Chrome itself so it's a work in progress."
