OS X 10.9.2 install error

stephenhowells opened this issue 10 years ago · comments

I'm getting the weirdest install error on Mavericks. It says it can't create the .overcast directory despite running the npm install command with sudo privileges. I haven't encountered this error while installing an npm package before. I'm stumped!

Thanks for the report! I hadn't considered cases where you might use sudo to install. Is Stephen an admin or "standard" OS X user account? Either way, I'll remove the postinstall hook that is failing here so that the $HOME/.overcast directory will be generated on first use by the correct user.

Stephen is an admin OS X account. Thanks, Andrew!
