Npm Global Install Fails

tmarrs commented 8 years ago

I get the following error when I use npm install crest - g:

json-at-work => npm install crest -g

It looks like the chmod is happening before the server.js file exists. I've installed Node with NVM, but that shouldn't matter.

But the git clone install works great. Thanks for this excellent module, but please fix the npm global install issue.

Before you execute npm install -g, change in the file package.json: "server": "./bin/server" to "server": "./bin/crest".

Regards!

Fixed this with @gaborre's advice. Making a PR now so others won't run into this issue.
