npm install gave out a lot of warnings about outdated packages, I don’t know if they were talking about my preexisting environment or about something in the LW2 repo.
npm start took over half an hour before I went away, and when I came back many hours later it seemed to be stuck in a loop of constantly retrying something that was throwing an error.
I will also take a moment to grump that prestart_lesswrong.sh installs meteor, which I would rather have done myself (and which I wouldn’t have done through curl | bash). Still, I understand that having an easy setup makes people more likely to contribute, so I won’t grump too much. I would have appreciated a warning though, or a separate npm install_deps script or something.
It didn’t work for me on linux either.
