After I had discussion with respective team, we figure it out that this problem is related to node.js v0.8 compatibility issue.

It seems that you are running latest node version and the azure tool you installed using following command are not compatible with latest node v0.8:

npm install azure --global

The fix is there in the DEV branch https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-node/ NOT in MASTER. The package served from the npm repository is not updated with this.

For the time being you can create package from dev branch, for this:

1. Download the zip file from https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-node/tree/dev
2. Unzip and from the command prompt switch to extracted directory

3. Create the package by running the command (Note: This will generate the file azure-0.6.1.tgz):

   npm pack

4. Install this package by running the command:

   npm install azure-0.6.1.tgz --global

This should solve your problem.
