Shopify's 'slate' Package Not Running After Installation
I just installed Shopify's 'Slate' package using npm.
Terminal shows that the package was added to '/.npm-packages/lib'.
However, when I attempt to build a new shopify theme using the command 'slate theme newthemename', the command isn't found...
...even though slate clearly was installed.
Curious to figure out what I'm doing wrong, so any help/advice is much appreciated!
Answer
Your installation of slate is successful. However, the slate program (slate/lib/index.js) is not added to environment variable PATH, that's why error command not found is reported.
To fix this issue, a simple method is add slate/lib/index.js to PATH manually. For example, create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin/ and make it point to slate/lib/index.js:
sudo ln -s /<absolute_path>/@shopify/slate/lib/index.js /usr/local/bin/slate
Please note the first parameter of ln -s must be absolute path. If relative path is used, Mac OS X (I'm on 10.12.6) won't help to translate it.
