• BUG description:

I am trying to test an open-source repo, which I successfully used with my mac, but now on my Windows machine, I am getting the error:

>hexo server
ERROR Local hexo not found in ~\Source\Repos\meteor-docs
ERROR Try running: 'npm install hexo --save' 

I have tried running the suggested command, and I can see the hexo directory in my node_modules file, yet I still get this error?

Steps to Reproduce:

1. git clone https://github.com/meteor/docs
2. cd docs
3. git submodule update --init
4. npm install
5. npm start

I'm also having the same issue.

hexo serve

works on mac but not on ubuntu 16.04.1 server.

same problem, same steps works well on mac, but not on ubuntu and centos.

EDIT: removing the node_modules directory and rerunning npm install worked.

Same here on Windows 8.1. Hexo worked fine before updating Hexo to 3.3.9 (I think it was at 3.2.0 before).
