npm install exits with Error: ENOENT, chmod ... #1
Description
Hi there, I tried installing crest on my digital ocean ubuntu box and got the following error:
npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, chmod '/usr/lib/node_modules/crest/bin/server'
npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this *entire* log,
npm ERR! including the npm and node versions, at:

I tried googling the problem and stumbled upon a stackoverflow question with this as the chosen answer:
Ok it looks like NPM is using your .gitignore as a base for the .npmignore file, and thus ignores /lib. If you add a blank .npmignore file into the root of your application, everything should work.
[edit] - more info on this behaviour here: https://npmjs.org/doc/developers.html#Keeping-files-out-of-your-package
Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17990647/npm-install-errors-with-error-enoent-chmod for details on the question.
Also, Digital Ocean defaults to root access login on Ubuntu boxes. Don't know if this might be relevant.
Thanks.
