node-jq: Error when npm installing 1.7.0

Hey guys, it seems that there’s an issue with the latest version. We tried on 3 different machines, all current NPM versions, in repos where it used to work before and in empty folders, and it always says:

npm ERR! path <DEV_PATH>\node_modules\node-jq\bin\jq
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! syscall chmod
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod '<DEV_PATH>\node_modules\node-jq\bin\jq'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

Installing an older version works: npm install node-jq@1.5.0

Keep the npm install --ignore-scripts, but make sure you have jq installed in your system and available in $PATH.

BTW, I have it installed in the system, which jq /usr/bin/jq

but I had the same ENOENT crash saying it was not found in node_modules/node-jq/bin/jq. My workaround was to pass the ‘/usr/bin/jq’ into ‘run’ method as the forth optional parameter, then it worked.
