Same thing happening to me FYI - on OSX (Mountain Lion). :-(

@cemerson could you put the whole log here?

Hi, I am facing precisely the same problem when I run 'npm install -g autosave' on my windows command prompt.
I am pasting the log here, if it helps.

On Mac OS X and Linux it would be sudo npm install -g autosave.\n\n## Usage\n\nRun autosave in the terminal.\nYou should see something like "DevTools Autosave is running on http://127.0.0.1:9104".\n\n> It doesn’t work on Windows. I’m having \'autosave\' is not recognized as an internal or external command\n\nHave you tried turn it it off and on again? Seriously, restart the system.\n\n## Run on OS launch\n\nIt might be annoying to open a terminal and type "autosave↵" every time you need to run Autosave. On Mac OS X and Ubuntu you can run Autosave on OS launch as a daemon. To do so run:\n\n npm run-script -g autosave autostart\n\nIt is not yet available on other operation systems.\n',

99 silly resolved readme: '# Commander.js\n\n The complete solution for node.js command-line interfaces, inspired by Ruby's commander.\n\n \n\n## Installation\n\n $ npm install commander\n\n## Option parsing\n\n Options with commander are defined with the .option() method, also serving as documentation for the options. The example below parses args and options from process.argv, leaving remaining args as the program.args array which were not consumed by options.\n\njs\n#!/usr/bin/env node\n\n/**\n * Module dependencies.\n */\n\nvar program = require(\'commander\');\n\nprogram\n .version(\'0.0.1\')\n .option(\'-p, --peppers\', \'Add peppers\')\n .option(\'-P, --pineapple\', \'Add pineapple\')\n .option(\'-b, --bbq\', \'Add bbq sauce\')\n .option(\'-c, --cheese [type]\', \'Add the specified type of cheese [marble]\', \'marble\')\n .parse(process.argv);\n\nconsole.log(\'you ordered a pizza with:\');\nif (program.peppers) console.log(\' - peppers\');\nif (program.pineapple) console.log(\' - pineappe\');\nif (program.bbq) console.log(\' - bbq\');\nconsole.log(\' - %s cheese\', program.cheese);\n\n\n Short flags may be passed as a single arg, for example -abc is equivalent to -a -b -c. Multi-word options such as "--template-engine" are camel-cased, becoming program.templateEngine etc.\n\n## Automated --help\n\n The help information is auto-generated based on the information commander already knows about your program, so the following --help info is for free:\n\n\n $ ./examples/pizza --help\n\n Usage: pizza [options]\n\n Options:\n\n -V, --version output the version number\n -p, --peppers Add peppers\n -P, --pineapple Add pineappe\n -b, --bbq Add bbq sauce\n -c, --cheese <type> Add the specified type of cheese [marble]\n -h, --help output usage information\n\n\n\n## Coercion\n\njs\nfunction range(val) {\n return val.split(\'..\').map(Number);\n}\n\nfunction list(val) {\n return val.split(\',\');\n}\n\nprogram\n .version(\'0.0.1\')\n .usage(\'[options] <file ...>\')\n .option(\'-i, --integer <n>\', \'An integer argument\', parseInt)\n .option(\'-f, --float <n>\', \'A float argument\', parseFloat)\n .option(\'-r, --range <a>..<b>\', \'A range\', range)\n .option(\'-l, --list <items>\', \'A list\', list)\n .option(\'-o, --optional [value]\', \'An optional value\')\n .parse(process.argv);\n\nconsole.log(\' int: %j\', program.integer);\nconsole.log(\' float: %j\', program.float);\nconsole.log(\' optional: %j\', program.optional);\nprogram.range = program.range || [];\nconsole.log(\' range: %j..%j\', program.range[0], program.range[1]);\nconsole.log(\' list: %j\', program.list);\nconsole.log(\' args: %j\', program.args);\n\n\n## Custom help\n\n You can display arbitrary -h, --help information\n by listening for "--help". Commander will automatically\n exit once you are done so that the remainder of your program\n does not execute causing undesired behaviours, for example\n in the following executable "stuff" will not output when\n --help is used.\n\njs\n#!/usr/bin/env node\n\n/**\n * Module dependencies.\n */\n\nvar program = require(\'../\');\n\nfunction list(val) {\n return val.split(\',\').map(Number);\n}\n\nprogram\n .version(\'0.0.1\')\n .option(\'-f, --foo\', \'enable some foo\')\n .option(\'-b, --bar\', \'enable some bar\')\n .option(\'-B, --baz\', \'enable some baz\');\n\n// must be before .parse() since\n// node\'s emit() is immediate\n\nprogram.on(\'--help\', function(){\n console.log(\' Examples:\');\n console.log(\'\');\n console.log(\' $ custom-help --help\');\n console.log(\' $ custom-help -h\');\n console.log(\'\');\n});\n\nprogram.parse(process.argv);\n\nconsole.log(\'stuff\');\n\n\nyielding the following help output:\n\n\n\nUsage: custom-help [options]\n\nOptions:\n\n -h, --help output usage information\n -V, --version output the version number\n -f, --foo enable some foo\n -b, --bar enable some bar\n -B, --baz enable some baz\n\nExamples:\n\n $ custom-help --help\n $ custom-help -h\n\n\n\n## .prompt(msg, fn)\n\n Single-line prompt:\n\njs\nprogram.prompt(\'name: \', function(name){\n console.log(\'hi %s\', name);\n});\n\n\n Multi-line prompt:\n\njs\nprogram.prompt(\'description:\', function(name){\n console.log(\'hi %s\', name);\n});\n\n\n Coercion:\n\njs\nprogram.prompt(\'Age: \', Number, function(age){\n console.log(\'age: %j\', age);\n});\n\n\njs\nprogram.prompt(\'Birthdate: \', Date, function(date){\n console.log(\'date: %s\', date);\n});\n\n\n## .password(msg[, mask], fn)\n\nPrompt for password without echoing:\n\njs\nprogram.password(\'Password: \', function(pass){\n console.log(\'got "%s"\', pass);\n process.stdin.destroy();\n});\n\n\nPrompt for password with mask char "":\n\njs\nprogram.password(\'Password: \', \'_\', function(pass){\n console.log(\'got "%s"\', pass);\n process.stdin.destroy();\n});\n`\n\n## .confirm(msg, fn)\n\n Confirm with the given `msg`:\n\n`js\nprogram.confirm(\'continue? \', function(ok){\n console.log(\' got %j\', ok);\n});\n`\n\n## .choose(list, fn)\n\n Let the user choose from a `list`:\n\n`js\nvar list = [\'tobi\', \'loki\', \'jane\', \'manny\', \'luna\'];\n\nconsole.log(\'Choose the coolest pet:\');\nprogram.choose(list, function(i){\n console.log(\'you chose %d "%s"\', i, list[i]);\n});\n\n\n## Links\n\n - API documentation\n - ascii tables\n - progress bars\n - more progress bars\n - examples\n\n## License \n\n(The MIT License)\n\nCopyright (c) 2011 TJ Holowaychuk <tj@vision-media.ca>\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining\na copy of this software and associated documentation files (the\n'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including\nwithout limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,\ndistribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to\npermit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to\nthe following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be\nincluded in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED 'AS IS', WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,\nEXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF\nMERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.\nIN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY\nCLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT,\nTORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE\nSOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.',

Any solution for this one?

[ThePixelDoc]

Same thing here running OS X Mountain Lion.

I downloaded the ZIP file and moved the enclosed "chrome-devtools-autosave-server-master" to my Documents folder.

cd to /bin or to the enclosing folder throws up all kinds of Errors (using with sudo)

• Are we all doing something terribly wrong? And where should we "change directory" to so that the command can find the right file to install?

Same here on Mountain Lion. Installs fine but as soon as I do sudo npm run-script -g autosave autostart I get:

Hm, it works for me.

sudo npm run-script -g autosave autostart on Mac OS X runs https://github.com/NV/chrome-devtools-autosave-server/blob/master/scripts/autostart.sh#L4.

As a workaround you can manually put com.chrome.devtools.autosave.launchd.plist into $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/ and do launchctl load "$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.chrome.devtools.autosave.launchd"

If none of this work, you can manually start autosave by running autosave in the Terminal.
