Installing: purs executable not found

[ChrisPenner]

Going through the install process:

$ npm install -g purescript
$ npm install -g pulp bower
$ psc --version
0.10.7
$ pulp -v
Pulp version 11.0.0
$ pulp init
* ERROR: `purs` executable not found.

Not sure what's up, I had a really old version of purescript before, so I npm uninstalled both purescript and pulp before starting over and ended up with this error.

I ended up just brew install purescript and everything is working; but this is a potential painpoint
for new users so I figured I'd mention it.

Cheers! Thanks for all the work you do!

At the moment you'll need to install purescript@next. That'll be updated very soon, once we have 0.11.3 on npm! (@next is 0.11.1)

Just wanted to let you know that new users following the "getting started" guide won't properly "get started"; what you do now is up to you 😁

Cheers!

I followed this setup tutorial today at PureScriptConf, hitting errors at every step (lots of severely out-of-date things (haven't played in PS in a long time), and conflicting install stuff), but was able to solve them all, except the final step; when builing, I get that purs is missing. I tried installing purescript@next, but it didn't solve things for me. Not sure if I should reopen this issue or make a new one, as it seems to be the same problem.

@next is no longer necessary, as the published "normal" version is 0.11.3 now - what OS are you using? Maybe we don't provide a binary for whatever it is you're using. Were there no errors in the npm install -g purescript stage?

Yes I like the 'expected' look and feel of PS based on my experience with Haskell etc but I have a really broken system as the installation instructions are baffling, ambiguous, incomplete and do not result in a working system. I can do tiny compiles 'by hand' but paths are 'up the creek' . I am gifted with plenty of patience but this is quite a test... As a beginner I feel that other beginners would have given up by now and commented as indicated by the comments above.

@MatrixMike The issue here has been fixed. I just recently went through the guide with a beginner with no problems so I am not sure what you mean; I'm happy to help but I'll need more detail. Can you open a new issue on https://github.com/purescript/documentation please?
