Postinstall script fails on Windows 7

[Diorbert]

I'm trying to install ohm-js on Windows 7, but fails with the following error:

ohm-js@0.13.1 postinstall: `bash bin/postinstall`

Failed at the ohm-js@0.13.1 postinstall script 'bash bin/postinstall'.
Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.

I checked the Issues History and found the Issue #42 , which treated the same problem, but didn't solved to me.

I am running into the same issue.

Would you be open to implementing the npm postinstall functionality with Node scripts instead? As described in this thread I think this would get you the best portability.

Since it looks like the main goal of the postinstall hook is to add a git hook for developers, perhaps using husky as a devDependency might also be an option? I've had good results with that, although mainly for simple "precommit: npm test" type hooks.

Since none of the core developers are using Windows, I'd be happy to take a PR that will fix these problems (as long as the solution isn't too complicated, that is).

@mniebling: Moving to Husky seems like it might be a good idea. Would you like to submit a PR?

[mniebling]

Yes, I'm happy to take a look at this. We're using Ohm at work and our dev machines are a mix of OS so I should be able to get some free testers 😄

Great, thanks! BTW I'd love to hear what you are using Ohm for; feel free to email me privately (address is in my profile).

Good to know that I am not the only one still with this problem, but I would like to share something. I was able to work around the problem by installing a linux terminal emulator (cmder). With that it worked for me. 😃
