node.js - Cannot find module 'findup-sync' when trying to run grunt

Question

I am having trouble running grunt-cli after installing it. I run

npm install -g grunt-cli

then running grunt errors with

    node.js:63
    throw e;
    ^
Error: Cannot find module 'findup-sync'
    at loadModule (node.js:275:15)
    at require (node.js:411:14)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/tmartin/bin/grunt:9:14)
    at Module._compile (node.js:462:23)
    at Module._loadScriptSync (node.js:469:10)

    at Array.<anonymous> (node.js:756:12)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:55:22)
    at node.js:773:9

This is what I have installed:

tmartin@timcomp:~$ npm list -g

Answer 1

I got mine running again reinstalling grunt-cli globally and in my repo.

npm install -g grunt-cli

cd myrepo

npm install grunt-cli

I think Yosemite installation broke some things in my files ...
