Followed the usage section but nothing happens

[green-coder]

I am a nodejs-beginner and I don't know how to use your program. I followed the steps in usage but nothing happens. (I added 'sudo' because it won't install otherwise).

I am on Ubuntu. Please help.

I've a similar problem on OS X EL Capitan

$ npm i -g torrential
$ torrential
env: node\r: No such file or directory

it may be line endings problem as discussed here.

hey @green-coder As per this article http://howtonode.org/introduction-to-npm you don't want to install as sudo The article talks about using changing the owner of /usr/local but I see your install is using /usr for some reason. So you may want to run sudo chown -R $USER /usr to fix the sudo issue. It's also weird that it doesn't see torrential Can you confirm /usr/bin is in your PATH by giving the output of echo $PATH Thanks

@dzlab So the last push was from a windows machine and that may have go in the way I have just published 1.0.4 from a *nix box so that should be sorted now Please try a reinstall

On my Ubuntu machine, nodejs was probably installed using sudo, it is in /user/bin:

vincent@ghost:~/code/torrential$ which node
/usr/bin/node

The article you linked is 5 years old and many persons left some alarming comments about its content. I don't think it should be used as a reference.

This is how I just resolved the issue (using the version 1.0.4 which you just released):

vincent@ghost:~/code/torrential$ npm install torrential
