elm pkg install error #18

Hi, thanks for sharing this project.

I installed elm-ui from npm globally (had to use sudo since it wasn't local), then ran init (and also later tried new) to scaffold a new project, then cd to new project folder and ran elm-ui install ... but got the following error:

Installing elm packages...
events.js:154
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm-ui/node_modules/elm/Elm-Platform/0.16.0/.cabal-sandbox/bin/elm-package ENOENT

I have no Elm-Platform/ in the spawn path. I do have elm 0.16.0 installed.

> elm
Elm Platform 0.16.0 - a way to run all Elm tools
...

using node v5.5.0 npm v3.3.12

any ideas?

thx!

Hey, is there any errors when installing Elm-UI? It seems that for some reason elm-platform didn't install the binaries.

Someone had a similar issue and the problems were some wrong permissions:

/usr/lib/node_modules/elm-ui/node_modules/elm $ sudo npm install
npm WARN cannot run in wd elm@0.16.0 node install.js (wd=/usr/lib/node_modules/elm-ui/node_modules/elm)

ok, yeah, i'm seeing the same warning.

so then...

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm-ui/node_modules/elm && sudo node install.js

...appears to download the binaries, and now running elm-ui install in my scaffolded project works.

peculiar.

firing up the dev server works too with the example page. i'm off and running now. will close this issue.

thanks!

Encountered the same problem, and solved it the same way.

My hunch is that it came to be because I didn't pay attention when installing elm-ui globally: I didn't do it as superuser, it gave an error, I did it again as su, it worked, but I guess it left some stuff hanging.

Anyway, thank you @larryhengl for the instructions =)
