npm run install:oni-plugin-typescript fails about oni HOT 10 CLOSED

I get the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04, but even using sudo:

sudo npm install -g oni-vim

For some reason a global install is trying to write to ~/.npm in my home folder, with the following error:

npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/erahhal/.npm/oni-plugin-typescript'

There's definitely something wrong here.

I've published version 0.1.2 at npm, so please try sudo npm install -g oni-vim again. The postinstall script that was causing problems was removed with #40. Thanks!

Works for me :)

verified that this fix worked.

I get this error when running npm install -g oni-vim

Interesting, I haven't seen this - and it looks like the npm install step is working okay on TravisCI (which is Linux).

If you clone & build the repo, does it work?

from oni.

Yes, I could build it manually.

Getting the same error as @erahhal. A little more info: it's trying to open $HOME/package.json when I try and run sudo npm run install:oni-plugin-typescript.

EDIT: Also ubuntu 16.04

Same problem on Ubuntu 16.04. Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules ...

I found when install by sudo npm install -g oni-vim, the oni-plugin-typescript dir's owner in $HOME/.npm is nobody, does it matter?

from oni.

Hmm, I think I need to get rid of the postinstall script that runs npm install in the oni-plugin-typescript directory, and push those dependencies up.
