The hard way (better for development/fixes):

If $ npm link fails, try $ node meanworks.js or $ npm start.

meanworks's Issues

Issues with Problem 3

Four issues listed below with respect to Problem 3. Let me know if you want any of these filed separately. Two version number typos, a missing install in the solution provided, and an error preventing me from verifying the solution on Windows:

1) Instructions say to Please Install Bower v1.4.1, but when I verify the solution, I'm told the workshop was designed to work with v1.5.3.

You have version 1.4.1, but this workshop was tested to work with 1.5.3 (or later versions)
Run `$ npm install -g [email protected]` to upgrade it
(You can also just skip this if you want- at your own risk!)

2) Instructions refer to both Yeoman 1.4.7 and 1.5.1. The workshop was designed to work with 1.5.1 according to the warnings when verifying the solution. All references to 1.4.7 should be removed.

3) The final solution is missing the instructions for Yeoman:

SOLUTION

---

$ npm install -g [email protected]
$ npm install -g [email protected]
$ npm install -g [email protected]
$ npm install -g [email protected]

4) Final issue: I get the following error on Windows when attempting to verify the solution:

check-version-npm.js:38
        if (args.join('').toLowerCase() === 'skip') {
            ^
ReferenceError: args is not defined

Incorrect solution marked as correct

My solution for #3 is not correct but the program marks it as correct

angular-fullstack:route never specified for problem 07

Problem 06 specifies to run angular-fullstack:endpoint, however it is never said to run angular-fullstack:route in order to create the html templates.

Need to specify -g for installation

The Readme says to run the following command for the easy installation:

$ npm install meanworks@latest

If we do this and try to run $ meanworks or $ node meanworks.js after install, we get an error that the command was not found. Verified on Windows 7 and OS X.

People will need to install globally instead: $ npm install -g meanworks@latest

Happy to submit a pull request to update the readme if it helps.

meanworks verify for mongodb problem 2

Because of a space in the folder name, an error is produced when running 'meanworks verify' for problem 2

Meanworks verify not working

The meanworks verify does not seem to work on the step for the yeoman generator step regarding the folder ng-fullstack-new. The following screenshot shows how I am already in the ng-fullstack-new folder, however meanworks verify shows me that I am not in it and that my solution is incorrect.
