    morky01, I'm not well versed on node.js.  Do you know what would throw this error?

    jacob.friedman what are you trying to do?  It sounds like that error is resulting from trying to install rally-app-builder as a dependency to itself.  I'm guessing you forked or cloned the rally-app-builder project?  You can add a -g to your install command to install it globally and that should avoid the problem.  A simple npm install in that directory should also install all of its dependencies if you're just trying to do some work on the actual rally-app-builder.

     

    If you're just trying to use rally-app-builder then there's no need to have a local clone of the github repo on your machine.  npm i rally-app-builder -g should install it for you globally and you should be good to go.

     

    Does that help?

    morky01, I'd like to install Rally App Builder so I can customize some reports.  I took a look at the github repo and was following instructions to install it.  I downloaded repo and unzipped on a folder on my computer.  Then I followed instructions to install by typing 'npm install rally-app-builder' in that folder directory.  That produced above error. 

     

    I tried doing global install and got screenshot below.

     

     

     

    Global Install

    I then tried to create my rally app builder project by navigating to lib folder and typing 'init --name=jaketest2'

     

    I get following error and cannot move forward.  Any ideas on how to proceed?

    OK, that helps.  It looks like your rally app builder install worked.  You should be able to delete your local version of the source code- the rally-app-builder-master directory.  As long as C:\Users\jfriedm1\AppData\Roaming\npm is on your path you should be able to use the rally-app-builder command from any directory on your machine.
