please use markdown code block for logs in future.

Have you install dependencies via npm? npm install??

Hi, I had the same problem

When running npm install got this error:

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.6"} (current: {"node":"0.10.25","npm":"1.4.21"})

> [email protected] postinstall /home/caramelomartins/Projects/butter

This was the one command that was causing the error for me:
bower install --config.interactive=false

Solved it by running the commands:

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

And wrapping all commands inside sudo [command] --allow-root:

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli --allow-root
sudo npm install --allow-root
sudo grunt build --allow-root
sudo grunt start --allow-root

Result of sudo grunt build --allow-root:

(...)
Done, without errors.

I am not sure if the first command is actually necessary but I had to run all of those to make it work.

The ./make_butter.sh script wasn't working for me also.

@caramelomartins As logs clearly said you have permission denied on '/home/caramelomartins/.config/configstore/bower-github.yml' You don't have access to this file.

Rather than run it with sudo change owner of these with chown.

in your case:

$ sudo rm -rf node_modules bower_components
$ sudo chown [username] -R .
$ npm install

for anyone new after git clone:

$ sudo chown [username] -R .
$ npm install

EDITED
--allow-root flag is not much safe thing. With script build anyone take root access of your machine.

[caramelomartins]

Thanks @turboMaCk!

I tried it again without the sudo [command] --allow-root and it still produced the error. I then run your suggested commands and it worked like a charm!

Worked for me! Again, many thanks!

[turboMaCk]

You're welcome.

Some explanation:

• sudo stans for "superuser do"
• sudo npm install will install dependencies but it also makes root the owner of all modules. They you as a user has no permissions to change that files

I do not know why you have permission issue after git clone but maybe you also run it with sudo what case this`

[caramelomartins]

Makes sense, when I tried to access the directory with a simple cd command I was given the same error...I can only assume I must have installed it with sudofrom the start.

Once again, thanks!

Yes, npm install does not show errors but grunt build remains not working.

[turboMaCk]

Looks like Windows related issue. I'm on beer with friends so I'm not 100 perxent sure now if this is available in grunt but pls try grunt build -v and post log in here. Thx.

[turboMaCk]

Oh sorry. I mistunderstand this log. Pls try:

$ rm -rf node_modules bower_components
$ npm -g update

[turboMaCk]

• npm install of course

[farleylai]

I finally succeeded building and starting the app. There are some minor error messages but the build works. This is probably a WiFi connection problem on OSX 10.11 which makes it arbitrarily slow or unable to connect some websites such that the build cannot download from nwjs.io. After reboot, everything goes as expected though the content is minimal. Looking forward to further development.
