The initial
npm install
in the repo is reporting errors because of the postinstall script, which expects that the 'ts' files are already transpiled. Maybe we should suggest running it with--ignore-scripts
?The other change is running grunt from the local installation of the package, because you may not have a global instance. Maybe the grunt invocation can be moved to a npm script?
