Error installing on manjaro #435

Open mrkaspa opened 6 years ago

I've tried to install this on manjaro with the cmd npm install -g elm-format

I think this is the same as https://github.com/avh4/elm-format/issues/377

The fix is to make https://github.com/avh4/binwrap handle the permissions properly.

The workaround is to install the binaries manually (or see the other issue for other suggestions).

Can you expand on this? I don't see any suggestions in #377 other than use --loglevel=verbose which doesn't seem to be a real solution (and has more to do with hanging at binwrap than the above error). How do you install the binaries manually (what binaries does this refer to)?

lo-co commented 6 years ago

Regarding the permissions, you can install using 

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm elm-format
avh4 commented 6 years ago

The real issue here is that binwrap doesn't correctly support installation in folders that aren't fully owned by the user. Fixing that would involve some development work and a PR to binwrap.

The workaround mentioned is to download the binaries from https://github.com/avh4/elm-format/releases and manually put them in the correct place on your path.
