I can confirm that a composer install fails using the npm method. See below: System specs:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial
Composer version 1.2.1 2016-09-12 11:27:19
npm version: 3.10.8
node version: v6.9.1

Debug output:

> conductor@0.1.3 start /home/ed/conductor
> electron .

@mglaman: I'm thinking the issue here is where conductor thinks projects.json should be installed. Not sure if you have ever heard of the XDG Base Directory Specification, but it will create the ~/.config directory to store stuff if the OS supports it. See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html.

Yeah. Apparently creating and saving a settings JSON file is becoming a bigger grief than I imagined. It lives here: https://github.com/mglaman/conductor/blob/master/utils/ProjectList.js.

It's supposed to make the directory and save an empty file.
