Failed to run the command with npx

[luohao]

Hi Derrick, I tried to follow the commands in README but the npx command failed to launch the tool:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/trace2-flamechart - Not found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404  'trace2-flamechart@1.0.0' is not in this registry.
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

Does it need any special config for the registry?

Hi @luohao. Thanks for your interest. Could you please show which commands you are running to get this output? It seems to me that you left off the derrickstolee/ part of the package name. It should be fetching the package from this repo instead of from the NPM registry.

@derrickstolee I used the two commands in README:

$ /tmp/trace2-flamechart/ [main] npm install -g derrickstolee/trace2-flamechart
