npm dalekjs / phantomjs install issues

[Franc Schiphorst]

Hi,

Ran into install issues on windows 7 (and windows 2012 server)

npm install dalekjs --save-dev

this got stuck at 

Download already available at C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\phantomjs\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows.zip

Extracting zip contents

Removing C:\dalek\node_modules\dalekjs\node_modules\dalek-browser-phantomjs\node_modules\phantomjs\lib\phantom

Copying extracted folder C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\phantomjs\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows.zip-extract-1449729853923\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows -> C:\dalek\node_modules\dalekjs\node_modules\dalek-browser-phantomjs\node_modules\phantomjs\lib\phantom

Probably an issue with path length under windows

The hack i used to "fix" this was to edit the  C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\phantomjs\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows.zip zipfile by cleaning out the examples folder

When i then ran the install it completed and dalek runs

node v4.2.3

npm v2.14.7

dalek v0.0.5

Yup. Specifically for us, we used:

rd /s /q "C:\Users\[Your ID]\AppData\Local\Temp\"

Thanks for the tips!
