"no response, no error, nothing" usually means that a program successfully ran.

I find that unusual in this case, since I would not expect there to be a 
program installed on your system called "learnyounode". Usually your $PATH 
environment variable would be set to run programs from system locations, and 
invoking "npm install" does not install anything in system locations, unless 
you use the "-g" flag, which you didn't do; the learnyounode documentation says 
you should use the "-g" flag to install it globally; then running just 
"learnyounode" should work.

When you don't use the "-g" flag, "npm install" installs files in the 
node_modules folder in the same directory (or an ancestor directory, if such a 
directory already exists there). The ".bin" subfolder of the node_modules 
folder typically contains any programs you're meant to run. You could check if 
a "learnyounode" program has been installed there for you, and if so you could 
run that instead of installing the module globally.
