probably due to administrative privileges.

Need to test

  • with admin
  • and without admin rights

and then update the README file accordingly.

update:

The first installation actually does give an error an indicates that there's a problem.

### Set Your JFDI for the First Time ###

    It looks like this is the first time you are using JFDI.
    Dont't worry, it's easy.

    The only thing you need to configure is a folder to
    store your JFDI data.

    Where do you want to store your JFDI data?
    Enter the full path ( like: /home/ninja/Dropbox/JFDI/ ).

prompt: path:  C:/

### Bummer! JFDI Path Setup Failed! ###

An error occurred. Retrying with root privileges may help.

However, even if the user opens the command prompt in admin mode, running jfdi will still generate an error.

The only workaround would be to reinstall jfdi via npm install jfdi -g and then run jfdi in admin mode.

fixes:

  1. when the installer gives an error, it should clear any temporary files (like the .root document)
  2. if it's possible we should detect and tell the user to run in admin mode.
