Summary

When running the npx commands for using Greenwood, there are some errors for files not found in node_modules,

ex.

Details

This is likely due to the fact that certain dependencies are assumed to be in the user's current directory where a node_modules directory would be. When running with npx then this wouldn't exist, so how to resolve these???

Nice, it works now with no error from us.

% mkdir -p src/pages

Though of course browsers like Safari and Chrome might still expect certain files related to PWA like assets when you load a page.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/owenbuckley/Desktop/npx-test/public/favicon.ico'

Perhaps we can find a way to provide a default favicon.ico in the meantime? I can add that as a requirement to #194.
