using nvm tmp dir is not created on install #71

Open kangman opened 7 years ago

kangman commented 7 years ago

installed into nvm for node v7.1.0 and got an error that a tmp dir was not available to write in. 

Uncaught Exception:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/dakang/.nvm/versions/node/v7.1.0/lib/node_modules/json-splora/app/tmp/input.json'
    at Error (native)

~/.nvm/versions/node/v7.1.0/lib/node_modules/json-splora/app/tmp

making this directory resolved the issue.

can this tmp dir be created on install?

The tmp directory is created on app startup, so I feel like this may be permissions related, and there may be a warning missing. Then the error happens later when the app tries to write to it.
