Install or first-use instructions in readme.md fail

[abelbraaksma]

The readme.md for Husky has this line to be executed after you install Husky:

npm set-script prepare "husky install"

This npm command doesn't exist and just shows the npm help screen.

I found an alternative command in some PR here (#1154), which appears to be merged but doesn't show up in the readme.md, however, it fails just the same:

npm pkg set scripts.prepare="husky install"

And trying to run the npm run prepare command regardless leads to a bunch of errors, likely because the original commands don't work:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path d:\Projects\Lula\billing\package.json
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'd:\Projects\Lula\billing\package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

This is on Windows 10 with .NET 6 and npm 6.14.8, if it matters. I've no idea how to install Husky though I'd love to try it out. Anybody know how to install it properly and/or edit the readme.md to contain instructions that work?

Ok, I just realized that my npm wasn't up-to-date, I first had to run:

npm install -g npm

While the command from the main readme.md still isn't working (it now gives a deprecation warning), the one from the PR #1154 now is and I can continue.

And now, npm run prepare actually works.

Bump.

GitHub failed to re-render the README.md what's showing is out-of-sync from what's committed to the repo.

@coolaj86 that's weird!

The bot shouldn’t close this. @coolaj86, the readme still shows old instructions.

@coolaj86 meanwhile the change is visible. Not sure what’s changed since last time. Will close as fixed (I can’t change the label, but really, it is fixed!)
