I ran the command on my app and i just get an error as it is trying to reference a non-existent folder on OS X

Error: Cannot find module '~/Dash-Control-Cards/.electrify/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/package.json' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Npm.require (~/Dash-Control-Cards/.meteor/local/build/programs/server/boot.js:142:18) at package_app (packages/arboleya:electrify/index.meteor.js:317:1) at release (packages/arboleya:electrify/index.meteor.js:167:1) at repl:1:2 at ~/Dash-Control-Cards/.meteor/local/build/programs/server/shell-server.js:243:23

As an added information, on OS X I did:

sudo meteor shell
electrify

Some added information from the logs that it appears should assist. I think this could be due to permission problems? All commands for node etc require "sudo node" "sudo meteor" on mac - that is the default way it installed.

Ok I ran "sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin" - this got it working. However, the app it created opens for a split second then closes.

It appears to be a problem with your npm installation - ideally you shouldn't need to use sudo.

However, I'm isolating the npm package from inside meteor, I guess it will fix all cases involving npm's permission issues.

Hi @bradynapier, now it uses the Meteor's npm package instead of the user's ones.

Please update and let me know if it worked:

meteor remove arboleya:electrify && meteor add arboleya:electrify
