Issue
My setup:
Windows Host machine (since I am a front-end dev, I do need many tools that just work best only on Windows)
Guest Ubuntu Server (dedicated)
All web projects are on the host machine, shared by guest addition to Ubuntu sever (NTFS)
Everything was working fine, but now I am at the beginning of new project that will be pure AngularJS web-app. I have researched some best structures for apps like this one, and decided to go for Yeoman Angular generator.
Unfortunately after long time spent on it and a lot of research I realized it will be impossible, since Yeoman is trying to create a lot of symbolic links, which seems in my setting impossible.
So I spent even more time researching and found another satisfactory structure - angular-app. Unfortunately, again, symbolic links once you try to install npm dependencies.
Therefore the question: Is it even possible to do development of angular app based on Yeoman Angular generator, angular-app or other great resources on Windows with virtual Ubuntu guest server? Or do I have to spend hours creating my own structure without symbolic links?
Solution
This is because of admin rights of windows which is not allowing to create symlinks, please follow this link for further discussion. You can do without creating symlinks as well if that you can afford, use npm install --no-bin-links
