"Error: EACCES, symlink" when installing

[DerekBurch]

It looks like you have node version 0.6.14 and we require at least version 0.8. Upgrading your nodejs install should fix the problem. Let us know if you run into any other issues.

Ahh my mistake. I upgraded to v8.0.12, re-ran and got a different error this time

npm ERR! addPlacedTarball Could not remove "/Users/martin/.npm/async/0.1.22/package"
npm ERR! Error: EACCES, rmdir '/Users/martin/.npm/async/0.1.22/package'

So i re-ran it as sudo and it all worked fine.

Re-ran ./install.sh, got the access problem, did the chown, ran again and it seemed all good, with the nice message " Successfully installed. Type "basil" to begin."

There was only one last error though

Warning: You should add /usr/local/share/npm/bin/ to your PATH

Something I should address?

[martinchooooooo]

Sorry, also forgot to mention that I get an error when running basil

➜  devkit git:(master) ✗        basil
     [basil]    [error]  Error initializing basil:
{ [Error: ENOENT, readdir '/Users/martin/prog/gameClosure/devkit/addons']
  errno: 34,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  path: '/Users/martin/prog/gameClosure/devkit/addons' }

[DerekBurch]

Did you use sudo when running install.sh? Its important to not run the install script as root because then you can only run basil using sudo. One suggestion may be to delete your devkit folder and try recloning the devkit repo and running ./install.sh without sudo (This should work if you use the chown command provided in the guides). Recloning will also hopefully fix the ENOENT error (if not creating an empty addons folder inside of devkit should fix it).

[martinchooooooo]

You're right, I did run it as root. I deleted my devKit dir and started again - everything went just fine.

Thanks for all your help =D
