error installing module #3

Closed sponnet closed 8 years ago

sponnet commented 8 years ago

Module installation fails here because he can't find the file 'node_modules/chartist/dist/chartist.min.css'

npm -v = 3.5.2 node -v = v0.12.7

npm install --save node-chartist

node-chartist@0.2.4 postinstall /Users/sponnet/Documents/projects/babuzo/scripts/node_modules/node-chartist npm run build && touch node_modules/canvas.js

Thanks @sponnet.

Without an api within chartist itself to return the location of it's css file, certain assumptions must be made about the post install directory structure.

The node_modules directory structure underwent a breaking change from npm v2 -> v3 which is the root cause of this issue.

We are currently supporting the LTS version of node (v4) and the version of npm packaged with it (v2). Our plan is to update the build scripts as new LTS versions are released.

Best regards, Alex

Hello @sponnet ,

Just wanted to let you know that + node-chartist@0.2.8 is now npm 3 compatible.

Best, Alex
