new installation requieres install -g and still can't start

[vkuehn]

when installing with sudo npm iron-node -g on a ubtuntu 14.04 x64 starting iron-node causes

fs.js:640
return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
^

the file actually didn't exist and creating it with chmod 755 didn't brin a solution...any idea ?

iron-node try to write this file to transfer your current node environment to forthcoming electron instance. Try `sudo iron-node...` or install iron-node for the user you use to make sure you have read and write access to `iron-node.env.json` Am 02.02.2017 9:01 nachm. schrieb "vkuehn" <notifications@github.com>: when installing with sudo npm iron-node -g on a ubtuntu 14.04 x64 starting iron-node causes fs.js:640 return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode); ^ Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/lib/node_modules/iron- node/bin/iron-node.env.json' at Error (native) at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:640:18) at Object.fs.writeFileSync (fs.js:1333:33) at /usr/lib/node_modules/iron-node/bin/run.js:41:5 at onStdIn (/usr/lib/node_modules/iron-node/bin/run.js:17:3) at Object.

Well I simply use ( without sudo ) npm i -g iron-node on Ubuntu .

[vkuehn]

on ubuntu you don't have write access to /usr/lib/node_modules.... so -g won't work unless you have made a manual configuration to use a different folder for node-modules.Therefore I see again
npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.
So I have to use iron-node always with root rights

We should change the location of iron-node.env.json to temporary folder of operating system. Can you send a PR?

[vkuehn]

uuuh not sure if I am the right person to do here PR's....I'll look at the weekend for that

[s-a]

Great. You are the right person to do PRs. Just deployed https://github.com/s-a/iron-node/releases/tag/v3.0.18. vkuehn.haveNiceWeekend(). 😄

[vkuehn]

thanks hopefully it was the right approach....
