It looks like the storybook install steps have changes. Thanks for filing, we will fix.

[jasonLaster]

We've seen this issue before as well

#240

looks like their new install steps are:

npm i -g getstorybook
cd my-react-app
getstorybook

[clarkbw]

I can't reproduce this on new installs. It looks like this issue storybookjs/storybook#15 which is usually about using an npm mirror.

[jasonLaster]

Hmm, let me switch the storybook step out. Having a seamless install, getting started experience is important for the contributor funnel.

[apollo13]

@clarkbw I was not using any mirror (I think, I am relatively new to npm ;))

[clarkbw]

@apollo13 thanks for reporting this! @jasonLaster is working on a fix in #789 hopefully this will be resolved soon.

[jasonLaster]

@apollo13 no worries. actually the mirror comes in from the npm side. NPM uses a mirror when the the dep is @org/something, which makes it flakey.

[jasonLaster]

Closing this as storybook is no longer a dev dependency
