Have you tried clearing your cache (with npm cache clear) ? Codebox is on NPM, here : https://npmjs.org/package/codebox . Try clearing your cache and give it another try, it seems to be some issue on NPM's side.

well, I installed npm just for that :p Also Tried the cache clear, didn't do anything. Nevermind, will pass on that. Seems to be a great work btw, will try again in a few months :) Edit : I had to npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ and it's working now.

Great :)

I sometimes wonder, can cloud IDE's will really be able to replace traditional code editors like Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs.

I really like the idea of cloud IDE's, but practically it's difficult to bring the entire development environment on cloud/browser, and even more difficult when switching from Vim.

Anyways, I really appreciate the efforts you are putting in this project. Congrats guys/gals, job well done.

The Node.js in Ubuntu's repositories is horrifically old. Try this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/

Codebox will actually be released as a desktop app as well. And I think that's going to be pretty important to have a truly hybrid IDE that runs both on the desktop and in the cloud.

And what's particularly nice is that the cloud IDE and desktop IDE can share 95% of their codebox.

As a result you have an IDE built with web technologies (JS, HTML, CSS, NodeJS) that can run virtually anywhere (desktop, public/private cloud) and you can iterate quickly thanks to the nature of web technologies.

Thank you, this IDE works also on desktop (Mac Application coming soon), here is a video of the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvPEngyXA2A

Well,

I find my self writing code in VIM via ssh using tmux and works fine. You can do pretty much everything on CLI, so I don't see how this is a substitute for VIM when all you need in order to write VIM/emcas code is a remote (secure) shell.

That said, vim is not an IDE, although many prefer (me included) prefer it over an IDE.

You could always use the JavaScript implementation of vim ;P
