npm ERR! code EISGIT for websocket git file

[anader123]

After installing setprotocol.js, I ran into an error trying to install web3 and bignumber.js in my project.

npm ERR! code EISGIT
npm ERR! git /Users/justbob/set-demo/node_modules/websocket: Appears to be a git repo or submodule.
npm ERR! git /Users/justbob/set-demo/node_modules/websocket
npm ERR! git Refusing to remove it. Update manually,
npm ERR! git or move it out of the way first.

I ran rm -rf node_modules/websocket/.git/ in the root of my project and was able to install both packages after that.

It looks someone had a similar issue in this thread and they were able to push a fix to the repo.
