After installing prey with npm install -g prey on my MBP osx 10.10, tried to configure it but I'm getting this...any idea?

prey config account setup
Error! Oops. Seems you don't have write permissions. Try running with sudo.
fs: missing callback Error: ENOENT, unlink '/etc/prey/prey.conf'

I also tried with sudo.

You have to run it with sudo : sudo prey config account setup, since the regular user doesn't have permissions to write the config file.

I tried with sudo... I get the same error...

[mauricioschneider]

Weird. For OS X I recommend you using our installer.

Ok, I got it...
I installed prey without sudo, because I'm running nodenv and a don't wont node packages installed with sudo....

But I miss a message that sais that as I was running with an unprivileged user, I should run a script sudo prey config hooks post_install

After that I can run sudo prey config account setup and it seams to be working fine now.

What's the difference between installing with npm and with the pkg installer?

[mauricioschneider]

The installer allows to have multiple versions of Prey installer, while the npm package won't. Also, the pkg installer is a more straightforward process.

Can I reopen this issue? Trying to install Prey after upgrading to Catalina.
