Auto-Install fails on some OS/node combinations

The problem:

For the original bug report, see https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/issues/681

Immediate solutions/workarounds.

One thing we can immediately improve is the error handling. This error is not “fatal” - all people have to do is run npm install themselves. So I will add a nice error message explaining that to users.

so what’s the Problem, really?

As to the original source of the problem, I’m a bit dumbfounded for the moment.

When you then elect to have scaffolding restore your packages (whether through npm or yarn), you are not in the project directory, but above it, so the package install/restore command fails

That would be weird - being in the wrong directory should lead to an error on OSX as well, but doesn’t (for me).

I also think I set the cwd for the npm call to the right directory here:

The fix is now available though the normal command as well.
