Windows install via node command line fails

[michaelkantor]

I'm pretty new to windows, so perhaps I'm missing something, but when I do

npm install -g scripted running on windows 7; node version 0.10.10, npm version 1.2.25, I get (error at the bottom):

You may have luck installing from master: npm install -g https://github.com/scripted-editor/scripted/tarball/master

We know that the 0.4 release has problems with Node 0.10 (so an alternative workaround is to downgrade to node 0.8) - I believe it is the old version of bower we have been using.

We hope to have a Scripted 0.5 out soon with the fix in it.

I think it worse to state on home page, to not use the latest version of nodejs.

And I tried master version but without success. (Linux Mint 15)

Nodejs: v0.10.12

I have been getting the same thing for many months. On both Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 7. I really, really enjoyed using scripted while it worked for me. I would love to use it again someday. I will watch the project for now and see how it goes. If you need any testers, feel free to ask.

[michaelkantor]

Completely uninstalling node and then installing the version recommended on the scripted github page should address this. Correctly uninstalling node may be harder than necessary though.

I'm seeing the same result as https://github.com/scripted-editor/scripted/issues/282#issuecomment-19872190 trying to install it on Windows. :frowning:

This is a roadblock to getting more users of Scripted onboard.
