This seems similar to #341. No idea why it's failing.

Can you post the full output of: ls -lha /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pure-prompt ?

mafredri on 25 Aug 2017

I have the same issue.

The full output of ls -lha /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pure-prompt is:

ls: cannot access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pure-prompt': No such file or directory

@LitoMore was your error identical to what @hyphaene had (e.g. same folders, etc)?

Where is npm installing pure for you?
How do we figure out the correct directory?

The current installation script relies on $PWD being the directory where pure was installed.

mafredri on 31 Aug 2017

Sorry, my mistake, I forgot my node_modules is in the /usr/lib. NOT /usr/local/lib.

The full output of ls -lha /usr/lib/node_modules/pure-prompt is:

ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/node_modules/pure-prompt': No such file or directory

Where is npm installing pure for you?

/usr/lib/node_modules/pure-prompt

@LitoMore are you installing as root (e.g. via sudo)? If so, that's probably the issue. Take a look at the issues I've linked to here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/issues/341#issuecomment-326000184.

mafredri on 31 Aug 2017

@mafredri Yes, is root.

Thanks.

LitoMore on 31 Aug 2017

Any update on this?

c5n8 on 12 Oct 2017

try this
npm install --global pure-prompt --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true
