Issues installing wintersmith

[lhagan]

I ran npm install -g wintersmith then ./bin/dev/compile_coffee, but this failed because ./node_modules/.bin/coffee is not present, although I do have coffee-script installed. The suggested fix, npm install --dev, just produced a lot of errors. I'm fairly new to node/npm, so maybe this is due to a problem with my config.

Instead, I just ran coffee -o ./lib -b -c ./src, which then threw the following error:

SyntaxError: In src/content.coffee, reserved word "private" on line 89

I just did a find and replace in content.coffee to change private to privatea and everything seems to be working.

Seems CoffeeScript 1.3.1 added some new reserved words. I'ts fixed now as of 1.0.6.

As for the npm install --dev problem. I've also noticed some errors doing this, try running npm install before npm install --dev

Thanks, that did it.
