Not a directory '/usr/bin/partial.js'

Hi,
I want to start my project unsing partail.js (as you show on YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GMQJki82Lo) but I have some initial problems.

marek@nassenfuss:~/Documents/node$ sudo npm -g install partial.js

Do you have any idea what causes this error?
My node version is v0.10.7.
I get the same error on Ubuntu 13.04 and Mac OS 10.8.3.

Hi, thank you for report a problem. I fixed this problem.
Please reinstall partial.js via NPM and give me your feedback:

$ sudo npm install -g partial.js

Thank you.

I tried it just now and got the same error.

[petersirka]

I tried it now:

Run this commands:

$ sudo npm install -g partial.js
mkrdir test
cd test
partial.js -version
partial.js

... and send me your screen shot. Thank you.

It is interesting. On Ubuntu I had to reinstall node.js and now it works like a charm.

Reinstalling node.js on Mac does not help. Here is the screenshot:

@eMarek problem is in NPM. e.g.: partial.js has no dependencies (see to package.json).
One time I had similar problem as you. Try to clean two directories:

/usr/lib/node_modules/
/usr/local/lib/node/

and re-install partial.js ...
Thank you + give me your feedback.

[eMarek]

Thank you!
I had to delete the "partial.js" directory in /usr/local/bin/node and reinstall partial.js modul.
You are my man! :)
