Proper installation instructions?

[Aditya94A]

Neither npm, docker or vagrant routes work as expected when following the readme.

Was anyone able to get this to work?

My two cents: This should be mentioned in the readme so more devs time is not wasted :/

Did not manage to install it via npm on macOS. Tried with sudo, also did not work.

Did not manage to install it via npm on macOS. Tried with sudo, also did not work.

Same Problem here, was not able to install on MacOS Big Sur 11.1. NodeJS and NPM are fully up-to-date

Can't install either. I have an error in the install script

.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.1/lib/node_modules/git-hours/node_modules/promisify-node/utils/args.js:9
var args = func.toString().match(/function\s.*?\(([^)]*)\)/)[1];
                                                             ^

I found that node 10 was not supported (at least at some instance of time).

I decided to blindly try different versions of node and I accidentally made it work when I switched to node 6.0

$ nvm install 6.0

then I tried the installation again

$ npm install -g git-hours

and the output I got was a succeedo

npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

I am no node expert, I suspect something changed in how node works, probably the return type of match function so that there no longer is any returned list and thus no index at [1]. I don't know why... But I have my git-hours working now and I am happy.

please fix this

[Ruin0x11]

Since the code for this tool was pretty simple, I decided to rewrite it in Rust.

The repository is here: https://github.com/Ruin0x11/jikyuu

[kimmobrunfeldt]

@Ruin0x11 awesome!

The tool is now installable with Node 14, tested on macOS.
