Can't install

[RedHatter]

I'm attempting to switch from pm2 to guvnor but can't get it to install. It looks like something is wrong with my permissions.

$ npm install -g guvnor --unsafe-perm
npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! Command failed: /usr/bin/git clone -q git://github.com/achingbrain/stylizer.git /root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-90db64cb
npm ERR! fatal: could not create leading directories of '/root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-90db64cb': Permission denied
npm ERR!

My node was installed using the following commands.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

I was able to get further in the install process by running with sudo. Which is really weird as I was already logged in as root.

I'm having more issues though. The build process fails now. For brevity I extracted the errors from the output.

@RedHatter please note that guvnor hasn't been updated since 8 Jan 2016, so we can assume it isn't up to date with the latest version of Node, you're trying to install this with v9.11.2.

If you would like to use this project, you need to downgrade your version of Node. Consider using nvm to manage your Node versions. Version 5 or earlier should do the trick.

If you absolutely need to use the latest and greatest version of Node, pm2-web should work on the latest version. It has the same main author as this package.

@elilambnz pm2-web has not been maintained since 2015 :/

[elilambnz]

@Remi-Tuy you’re right, but it does a pretty good job of monitoring node processes on a single machine. It doesn’t have as many features as guvnor though.
