Polo doesn't validate json config files.

This is what happens if you download the linux binary and run polo using the config.json from the examples

Thanks for the feedback @ipedrazas.

Why did you close this?

Even if it was human error it shouldn't panic this way. Could you reopen it and let me know what was wrong?

[ipedrazas]

Oh, the json was not well formed
