Fix for offline install untar instructions #35

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

There's a note about needing to remove the "f" in the tar command, but the real problem is that "-f" accepts an argument (the filename).

4). Untar the .npmbox file. This will create the .npmbox.cache folder.
      tar -xvfz --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions npmbox.npmbox

This should help: tar -xvzf npmbox.npmbox --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions

I believe this is fixed in the readme.md already.
