npm install after repo clone fails

[Jason]

I tried the simple npm install -g scripted, that failed with the same error reported here, so I tried cloning the repo but that fails too:

npm install

> rbytes@0.0.2 install /[redacted]/projects/scripted/node_modules/rbytes
> node-waf configure build

sh: node-waf: command not found
npm WARN install:rbytes@0.0.2 rbytes@0.0.2 install: `node-waf configure build`
npm WARN install:rbytes@0.0.2 spawn ENOENT

> scripted@0.5.0 postinstall /[redacted]/projects/scripted
> cd client && bower install
