Question

Trying to get started with Calipso and this new node.js world, coming from LAMP and Drupal. I’ve installed MongoDB, nodeJS, and NPM successfully.

Since I need to run **sudo** calipso site /var/www/sample-site the permissions really seem to screw things up. The site appears to get created successfully, but nothing else is able to execute. The basic calipso command does works fine. However…

• calipso test claims expresso can’t be found.
• calipso install creates a repeated error list a mile long (EACCES, Permission denied 'npm-debug.log')
• calipso modules list fails claiming what seems like the site doesn’t have it’s mongodb module installed, which looks likely.

Hate to give-up this early on such a lovely frontier.
Help Appreciated.
