mean-admin installs to node_modules folder not packages folder

[exoer]

FYI: I was confused that mean-admin installs to node_modules folders and not in packages folder where I expected it. Is this the intended behavior?

Yes, mean-admin is installed in the node_modules; in order to work with them you just go to your "node_modules/mean-admin" and do whatever you want. Just remember that if you are using live reload, you have to turn the server on again so it registers the changes.

I came here to ask the same question! Is there any reason I can't move it over to the packages folder? Makes more sense to me conceptually.

@exoer @adle29 @Squ34k3rZ - Mean admin currently installs in node_modules, but this changes with the latest version of mean (core, meanio, and mean-cli). What happens is we will now be having mean.json file which acts like bower.json or package.json, and those packages mentioned in mean.json will get installed in packages/contrib.

So packages will kinda evolve into contrib + core + custom....This probably makes dev easier on it, and it makes more sense logically. We want to focus and channel us into package contribution, and its all part of the process. :-)

Lior, will probably be able to give you an update on this.

Thanks! I just updated angular-ui bootstrap after using your mean-admins package. The entire accordion tab should be clickable now instead of just the text.

@pratik60 - What version do these changes take effect in?

What I'm confused about is that $ mean -v returns 0.6.6 on my machine but the github page says it's only at 0.5.40 and my mean-admin package was installed into node_modules.

Any thoughts?
