| Reset Steps: | |
| 1. Unplug the desk for 20 seconds. Plug it back in. Wait a full 20 seconds. | |
| 2. Press the up and down buttons until the desk lowers all the way and beeps or 20 seconds pass. | |
| 3. Release both buttons. | |
| 4. Press the down buttons until the desk beeps one more time or 20 seconds pass. |
While this gist has been shared and followed for years, I regret not giving more background. It was originally a gist for the engineering org I was in, not a "general suggestion" for any React app.
Typically I avoid folders altogether. Heck, I even avoid new files. If I can build an app with one 2000 line file I will. New files and folders are a pain.
This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.
I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.
Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.
