athom-cli error "Error: Cannot find module 'commander'"

Hi

Trying to go through the steps to install test apps and getting stuck early on... Can anyone advise please?

Using Windows 10, following the guide: https://developers.athom.com/library/getting-started/
Installed nodejs v5.7.1 stable
ran command prompt as administrator
typed 'npm install -g athom-cli'

Now no matter what I seem to try I continue to get the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>athom
module.js:341
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'commander'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:339:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:290:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:367:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:16:19)
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\athom-
cli\app.js:6:16)
    at Module._compile (module.js:413:34)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:422:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:357:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:314:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:367:17)

Tried adding "C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules" to my path.. not sure what step I'm missing.

Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Yup, same here - weird thing is, I had it working a couple of weeks ago, on a machine that no longer exists

That's odd! Can you do an npm uninstall -g athom-cli first and try again?

Threw away a snapshot and now it works! Guess an uninstall would have been enough but hey

Thanks for the help!
