It might have messed up the installation part.
I will check up on that.
But, i can spot the xi-artwork folder in node_modules directory.
And  where do i set the NODE_PATH?  In the node terminal?


What i meant was the
$volo create helloworld ayopa/omega-examples
command was executed without any errors

Yes, i will familiarize myself with the existing code and will try creating
some sample activities.
Hopefully i will reach that stage in the forthcoming days where i'll be
able to write my own UI controls.

And thanks for the wishes
I'm off to study. :)

Cheers!
