Hello,
I’m running windows 7 on my machine and I have git and node installed.
I’m just using the version of npm that comes with node.js as it meets the minimum requirements and updating npm on windows is much more involved with environment variables etc.
My system shows:
$ npm -version
2.10.1
$ node -v
v0.12.4
$ gulp -version
3.9.0
$ bower -version
1.4.1
I’ve tried the following process several times to no avail:
In a clean directory I’ve cloned the sage git file to my machine and then (re)installed gulp and bower.
git clone https://github.com/roots/sage.git theme-name
npm install -g npm@latest (this does nothing)
npm install -g gulp bower
When I run npm install
in the theme directory it takes an hour to run and then fails. It seems to install dependencies then it reaches a point where it starts re-installing them.
Finally the install fails with a final debug log entry of silly vacuum-fs quitting because other entries
.
I don’t really know what’s going on and I don’t remember any of these problems with my original roots theme.
Can anyone tell me where I’m going wrong and suggest a way forward?
Help me Roots-Discourse Kenobi, you’re my only hope!
Thanks
