Hello,

I have installed Cypress on Debian 9 (fresh install) with NPM.

When i launched cypress run, i get an error

Current behavior:

/opt/cypress/node_modules/.bin# ./cypress run

ENOTDIR: not a directory, mkdir '/opt/cypress/node_modules/.bin/cypress/plugins'
Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, mkdir '/opt/cypress/node_modules/.bin/cypress/plugins'

Steps to reproduce:

Hey @DcComicsansms Could you elaborate more on your project's file structure? What directory you were in when installing Cypress?

The node_modules are not typically within the cypress folder itself and usually within the project root.

Got the same error. But got it running with the following commands.

1. removing cypress again via sudo rm -r *
2. npm install cypress --save-dev
3. ./node_modules/cypress/bin/cypress run

I got the same issue. the mistake I was doing was running "./cypress open" command from the leaf folder. Resolution: run " ./node_modules/cypress/bin/cypress open" from project root folder.

Works for me!
