Trouble installing on Mac OSX

[NorthboundTrain]

VS Code: 1.28.2
OSX: 10.12.6
BashIDE: 1.3.3
NPM: 5.6.0 (installed via MacPorts)
MacPorts: 2.4.2

The output is:

tree-sitter@0.13.17 install /opt/local/lib/node_modules/bash-language-server/node_modules/tree-sitter

Thanks for the help!

This is an issue with your npm installation. A workaround is to use sudo.

Let me know if that worked for you. Thanks.

It was indeed a bad npm install (via MacPorts). I removed all of that and then installed directly from nodejs.org and it all works now -- thanks!
