My npm version 3.10.6 and node js version v0.10.25

In the shell you're running these steps in, is DEPLOY_VERSION set?

echo $DEPLOY_VERSION

I have the same problem.Some people solved this problem?

DEPLOY_VERSION='git describe --tags' couchapp push registry/app.js http://127.0.0.1:5984/registry

you can try this.

If this error persists after setting the env variable, you can also hard code it within app.js by adding this before the if statement

process.env.DEPLOY_VERSION = 'git describe --tags'
