PhantomJS causes installation to fail

[shakty]

The phantomjs package has been discontinued and it starts now to create problems on some installs.

If your installation fails and logs show an error like:

npm ERR! Phantom installation failed

you may try an alternative install.

1. Manually clone the nodegame repo 

   git clone https://github.com/nodeGame/nodegame.git
   

2. Open the file package.json and  replace this line 

   "nodegame-server": "^6.0.0",
   

   with:

   "nodegame-server": "git://github.com/nodegame/nodegame-server.git#nophantom",
   

3. Type:

   npm install
   

4. Notice that the games folder will be empty. If you want the ultimatum game back you can simply clone it in there:

   cd games/
   git clone https://github.com/nodeGame/ultimatum-game.git
