Description

I try to build mailspring according to this I installed all the dependencies and I have problem with node modules when I run npm install. The problem is that modules get installed into current directory (mailspring root) and then I get error that .../mailspring/node_modules/cld doesn’t exist. So I cd app and try npm install there. The directory appears, but when it comes to installing mailspring the folder get’s deleted and throws error that the command .../mailspring/node_modules/cldfailed - the node_modules folder doesn’t exist

To Reproduce…

  1. Install all dependencies for building mailspring
  2. git clone https://github.com/foundry376/mailspring
  3. cd mailspring
  4. npm install

Expected Behavior

Successful build
