Error installing configuration files

Help / Questions
#1

I am unable to install the configuration files. This is my first time using a mac, but I’ve worked my way through the answers to others who have posted the same error, and I haven’t gotten anywhere with it yet.

I copied the bash_profile and bashrc files from the repo to my root directory and renamed them to begin with a .. I restarted terminal and re-ran all the setups, but am still getting the same error.

What can I do about this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi!

When are you getting this error message? After what command?

Hey, I know you said that you’ve already worked through the answers of others, but just incase you missed this one: (dotfiles error) : (erb):32: command not found: npm get prefix This has worked for myself as well as a few other people. Good luck!
