so i cloned the repo and did cd blackcoffee; npm install which did the usual thing. i then saw there is also an installation instruction in the readme which wants me to bin/cake install, so i did that too. the output i got was
Installing CoffeeScript to /usr/local/lib/coffee-script
Linking to ~/.node_libraries/coffee-script
Linking 'coffee' to /usr/local/bin/coffee
cp: README: No such file or directory
which made me look around if that command had messed with my carefully tuned CS installation. right now i believe it hasn't: i do not have a ~/.node_libraries/coffee-script and no coffee in /usr/local/bin/.
i take issue with two points here:
(1) the installation step is not needed, and i guess most people will not want to overwrite their standard CS install with this experimental fork. it is non-standard anyway given that the only 'true' way to install NodeJS stuff is using npm install. anyway there should at least be a remark in the readme what the intended effects of that cake command are.
(2) the output of cake install has 3 errors on 4 lines; only the first statement, Installing CoffeeScript to /usr/local/lib/coffee-script, is true; the others are not.
