'npm install' fails for simple example

See original GitHub issue

I cannot run the simple example - I get an error from npm install.

To repro:

  • download fresh repo from github
  • cd to examples/simple
  • run npm install
  • not the error below (I’ve tried this on a few Macs)
➜  simple git:(master) npm install
npm WARN prepublish-on-install As of npm@5, `prepublish` scripts will run only for `npm publish`.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install (In npm@4 and previous versions, it also runs for `npm install`.)
npm WARN prepublish-on-install See the deprecation note in `npm help scripts` for more information.

Hi people,

I had the same problem. After a while, I restarted from scratch and I noticed the documentation says:

"To run this example locally on your machine: 1 - Clone the redux-form repository, then 2 - cd redux-form to change to the repo directory, and 3 - run: npm install.

Then run npm run example:simple or manually run the following commands:

cd ./examples/simple npm install npm start"

I was missing the steps 1,2,3. Best!
