Installation Errors

[flexage]

Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of getting nodebb installed, but I'm receiving an error that I'm unsure how to fix:

    npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/project-honeypot/-/project-honeypot-0.0.0.tgz

Can anyone shed some light on a solution?

I managed to fix this and thought I would post this here for posterity.

I edited the file npm-shrinkwrap.json

and replaced the code block on line 1159:

    "simple-recaptcha": {
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "from": "git://github.com/wzrdtales/simple-recaptcha.git#f408725106872df696436ff6a988923539ab80a6",
      "resolved": "git://github.com/wzrdtales/simple-recaptcha.git#f408725106872df696436ff6a988923539ab80a6"
    }

with:

    "simple-recaptcha": {
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "from": "https://github.com/wzrdtales/simple-recaptcha/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz",
      "resolved": "https://github.com/wzrdtales/simple-recaptcha/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz"
    }
