Cannot get npm install -g to work for my package

Question

I am trying to add CLI functionality to my npm hook-proxy. I could not find good documentation, so I basically copied and modified material from express.js.

I added:

"bin": { "intercept-proxy": "./bin/intercept-proxy" } 

... into my package.json file and created / bin / intercept -proxy.js which contains the CLI stuff.

When I run:

 npm install -g intercept-proxy 

... everything works up to the link. Then he fails, saying:

 npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, chmod 'C:\Users\johan.obrink.24HRCOM\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\intercept-proxy\bin\intercept-proxy 

... and the magazine says:

I tried googling ENOENT, chown + Windows, but didn't seem to get any bigger.

The full code is at https://github.com/JohanObrink/intercept-proxy

Edit: Now I tried this on OS X, and the problem is the same. Not related to windows - apparently, only I-being-a-n00b. Still can't find what is wrong, but.

ENOENT means the absence of such a file or directory. What happens if you change this?

 "bin": { "intercept-proxy": "./bin/intercept-proxy.js" }
