install fails

[andrewharvey]

It's a know issue that you can't install this module due to topojson/topojson#304

[andrewharvey]

workaround is:

npm install -g topojson
npm install -g topojson-client

then in the git cloned repo

npm install

this will fail

cd node_modules
cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/topojson .
cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/topojson-client .

Still an issue.

workaround is:

npm install -g topojson
npm install -g topojson-client

then in the git cloned repo

npm install

this will fail

cd node_modules
cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/topojson .
cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/topojson-client .

hi @andrewharvey :

• Thank you so much for sharing that fix !! (that helped me a lot in fixing a very important app build from source).
• I here add a new info, in case it's useful to others :
  • In a project, I npm installed [email protected], without any version of topojson-clientinmy package.json
  • And the problem was still there, even though I did not explicitly installed any version of topojson-client. At least as far as package.json can tell : I mention that, because I think possible that the topojson-client is brought with [email protected]
  • Furthermore, I did not execute cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/topojson-client ., but did cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/topojson .
  • So I :
    • know that the problem you mention has nothing to do with trying to install both topojson and topojson-client
    • think that your problem is explained by the fact that your trying to install topojson-client using npm install topojson-client : npm install [email protected] does more (or less?) than npm install [email protected].
