python ryppi.py install jade does not work

python ryppi.py install jade fails with following error:

Installing http://registry.npmjs.org/jade/-/jade-0.16.2.tgz into .\node_modules\jade ..

strange it works for me:

C:\github\ryppi>python ryppi.py install jade
Installing http://registry.npmjs.org/jade/-/jade-0.16.2.tgz into .\node_modules\jade ...
Checking dependencies for jade ...
Installing http://registry.npmjs.org/mkdirp/-/mkdirp-0.0.7.tgz into .\node_modules\mkdirp ...
Checking dependencies for mkdirp ...
Installing http://registry.npmjs.org/commander/-/commander-0.2.0.tgz into .\node_modules\commander ...

All done.

are you running ryppi as a different user that owns the installation directory?

You can also install modules by just git clone . I use that now with the modules which don't work.

Thanks for the advice. I do it in a similar way: just downloaded the file and unpacked it manually :)

At least we are giving this 2 options for the next person that come here googling for express and ryppi
