output dir error

See original GitHub issue

When I try to run typeof on OSX I get the following error:

Error: The output directory “/Users/peter/Development/cats/api_doc” exists but does not seem to be a documentation generated by TypeDoc. Make sure this is the right target directory, delete the folder and rerun TypeDoc. Documentation generated at /Users/peter/Development/cats/api_doc

The directory stays empty and I tried removing the directory before running typed, but made no difference. I used the following command:

    ./node_modules/.bin/typedoc --target es5 --out api_doc/ src/

Hi Panayot, please see issue #132 describing the same issue. Next version should contain the command line switch –disableOutputCheck that allows you to bypass the cleaning of the output directory.
