So… you’re a fucking muppet when it comes down to node, doing shit in the terminal, gems and so on and you have that ‘Running “watch” task Waiting…Bus error: 10′ error coming up when trying to run grunt watch for the first time.
As I don’t have a clue about all this, I’m gonna make this blog post a short one.
A downgrade or upgrade of node seems to do the trick for most people, so here’s what I did to resolve the issue, without knowing much wtf I was doing. By the way, I went with the upgrade.
Clear NPM’s cache with:
sudo npm cache clean -f
Install the node version management (refered to as n) with:
sudo npm install -g n
Install latest stable NodeJS version with:
sudo n stable
or as I like to refer it as:
Go-go gadget node
Relaunch your grunt task, it should work.
If it doesn’t, I’ve made it pretty clear I wasn’t the guy to ask, haven’t I.
So long.

grunt work again …thank you
Thanks! It works like a charm
Thank you! This really helped us out. You’re the best, Flo.
thanks
This is new, a solution I try on the internets that actually works. Thank you!
This worked great!
Works, but ruined the npm is on my Mac’s bash. Fixed that after re-installing node.js. This time, the bus 10 error did not occur.
