Tell us about your environment
Ubuntu 18.04

  • MarkBind Version:

1.10.0

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

On execution the command : sudo npm install -g markbind-cli from the terminal, I get the following error:

anarayan@BuntuBox:~$ sudo npm install -g markbind-cli
npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! Command failed: /usr/bin/git clone --depth=1 -q -b v3.10.0-markbind.1 git://github.com/MarkBind/htmlparser2.git /home/anarayan/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-95c44500

Next I tried npm install -g markbind-cli without sudo
That errors out as follows:

anarayan@BuntuBox:~$  npm install -g markbind-cli
