Getting a " '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command" during installation. #3

Closed arbyrn closed 10 years ago

arbyrn commented 10 years ago

I am getting this error after running "$ NPM Install" . It is throwing an error on the line "./node_modules/bowers/bin/bower install && ./.bin/build".

I am running on windows 7 and I am reasonably sure that the problem is due to the path syntax used. I can't seem to figure out the correct path to get bower to run the build file. Any help would be appreciated.

That's definitely the issue, and I'll try to get a Windows box to test with in the next day or two.

arbyrn commented 10 years ago

I was able to get it by replacing "\" for "/" and using the full path. So, "C:\Users\\phant-manager-http.bin\build" instead of "./.bin/build"

I must have misspelled something the nine times I tried this before. Always copy/paste, especially when it's late. Thanks toddtreece, keep up the good work.

I'm going to leave this open. The build script should work on *nix and Windows without modification.

toddtreece commented 10 years ago

Here's an update:

  1. bower requires that msysgit is installed using these instructions
  2. I fixed the build script path issues, so it should work the same on *nix and Windows

Want to give it a shot again? You can try it using the new config tool if you'd like: https://data.sparkfun.com/config

I had seen the bower document about msysgit and re-ran the install a couple of days ago.

I just prepared a new package.json and index.js, using the config tool. I was able to use them without incident.

Unless you have something else for me to try, I'm calling the issue closed on my end

Cool. Thanks for testing!
