Common Issues

###'git is not installed' error when installing Adapt On Windows, when running $ npm install adapt-cli -g, you receive an error like:

Oh dear, something went wrong. I'm terribly sorry. git is not installed or is not in the path

To fix this, check that GIT is installed correctly and add GIT to your system path, as documented at http://blog.countableset.ch/2012/06/07/adding-git-to-windows-7-path/

Course creation

'Can't stat' error when creating a course

On Windows, when running $ adapt create course you receive an error similar to:

Oh dear, something went wrong. I'm terribly sorry.
Can't stat "Users\\your.username\\.adapt\\tmp\\50233e50-b8e7-11e3-b613-9343b13d4c4c\\adapt_framework-master\\.bowerrc": Error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\your.username\Documents\Adapt\Users\your.username\.adapt\tmp\50233e50-b8e7-11e3-b613-9343b13d4c4c\adapt_framework-master\.bowerrc'

To fix this, you'll need to configure your $HOME environment variable.

On Win 7 go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System then select Advanced system settings > Environment variables

Then add a new variable called HOME with the value 'C:\Users\your.username' (or whatever the correct path to your user profile directory happens to be)
