'lessc' is not in the npm registry.

Hi

Tried following the instructions, but npm install -g lessc returns the following error:

'lessc' is not in the npm registry.

Looking around it on Stackoverflow and the like it seems the answer is as follows:

npm install -g less

But I don't know if I've got that right (still installing the main packages)

@ferrisoxide npm install -g less works perfect ..
lessc is by mistake i guess.

I wrote those instructions. I cannot remember why I would have written
lessc, I can only assume that at some point that instruction worked. "less"
appears to be the correct way now.

You only need the less compiler if you're going to do development on the
Aloha product. The bookeditor itself uses require-less, which includes its
own copy of the less compiler, and compiles less in the browser.

The instructions were fixed in

#182

(You probably wrote lessc because that is the name of the Less CSS command line utility, to avoid clashes with the less command line program. The npm entry is less though. I’ve mixed them up in the past too!)
