Cannot install on node 8.4.0, node-pre-gyp 404 erorr about grunt-cli

[shama]

This error appears to be caused by the module v8-debug possibly not being compatible with that version of node. grunt-cli doesn't use native addons so check your package.json install script or try installing grunt-cli from another folder.

Also it should be npm install grunt-cli -g to install globally as grunt-cli just gives access to the command grunt to run local grunt projects.

Ahh whoops, thanks for pointing that out. Didn't realize that a package install could be affected by siblings. I tried it in a fresh directory and the install was successful.
