rtop won't start: "syntax error near unexpected token `$'\001\001C'`" #67

Closed micahscopes closed 6 years ago

I'm running Arch linux.

I tried both yarn global add reason-cli and npm -g reason-cli. Both resulted in installation of reason-cli@3.1.0-darwin. Confusing! Running rtop gives me:

/home/micah/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/reason-cli/3_________________________________/i/opam__slash__utop-2.1.0-5c44d02e/bin/utop-full: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `$'\001\001C''

I just read the instructions... they say I'm supposed to install from a tarball, so I'm trying that now. Hopefully it'll solve all my problems!

After trying several different releases, I finally was able to get things working with 3.1.0. I used: npm install -g reason-cli@3.1.0-linux --force. (I added --force so that npm would overwrite an existing ocamlmerlin binary. no idea if that was a good idea, but it's what i had to do to get things working!)

Instead of using --force you can npm uninstall -g reason-cli first. 3.1.0 isn't officially released yet, but this will all be explained in the instructions when it is.
