Cannot install because space is in directory.

Important Notice

This is actually an issue in nodegit which traces even further back to node-gyp, which apparently passes along the issue to a gyp bug.

Temporarily Solution

Use @Glavin001's nodegit which uses @Glavin001's fixed node-gyp.

Until @TooTallNate merges my fixed Pull Request we will have to stay away from using the actual libraries.

Temporarily solution ended up not working...

Solution 2

Rename the path so that there is no spaces... 👎

[DylanYoung]

Haha. Oh well. There shouldn't really be spaces in paths anyways. It still
makes my teeth grind me when people name files or folders with spaces.

I don't usually do, but since I know other users do, I made my Project Development directory while a space so I could check for this corner case.. and finally when I catch it, it's not solvable. Sigh... spent two nights trying to solve nodejs/node-gyp#65 Would've been worth it if only I'd succeeded :P.

• I think I will write up a install.js script that will check for these things and notify the user.

Automated Installer script (#12) will warn of this issue.

To use installer:

node install.js

or

./install.js
