will examin post install scripts i assum hardcoded pathes?

[bobzhang]

@frank-dspeed , see https://bucklescript.github.io/docs/en/installation, would this work for you: npm install -g bs-platform --unsafe-perm

[frank-dspeed]

@bobzhang that worked but i could get it running when i install it local to a project.

Thanks we can close that.
