There is no node_modules folder after running npm install fomantic-ui. I think npm cleans it up if the install fails?
Fomantic builds properly with the following steps:
- npm install --ignore-scripts fomantic-ui
- cd node_modules/fomantic-ui
- npx gulp install
- npx gulp build
It seems like npm has a problem during the interactive install step (i.e. Set-up Semantic UI (Use arrow keys)). When running npm install fomantic-ui, I can see this message printed out (as shown in my original post), but never have the opportunity to select any of the options (e.g.: Automatic (Use default locations and all components)). npm errors out immediately after printing this message.
