Access Violation fail npm install on Linux #21

Open logannc opened 9 years ago

I'm running Linux Mint and when I run sudo npm install dalek-browser-chrome --save-dev, it fails with the error: 

Chromedriver installation failed Error: EACCES, permission denied '/home/logan/tmp/chromedriver'
    at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:647:18)
    at mkdir (/home/logan/node_modules/dalek-browser-chrome/install.js:156:8)

I have tried with the default version (0.0.11) all the way down to 0.0.7 since that was the version working on the previous installation failure issue(#7). I am led to believe this is an issue in the installation script due to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18427497/error-installing-dalek-js-module-chrome-browser.

If there is anything I can do to fix the environment it is running in or install from the repo, I'm willing to do that. I'd just like to get it working, ya know?

I think the sudo part is the problem, you shouldn't need to do this: See https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814

I keep forgetting to test this on my work computer. I will hopefully test in the morning.
