title: Getting started with Hubot
body: <p>I just pulled <a href="https://hubot.github.com/" rel="nofollow">hubot</a> down from github.  I ran <code>npm install</code> from <code>\d\projects\hubot</code> and got pounded with errors.  The first error may be causing the rest:</p>
  
  <blockquote>

  <p>The first line is pointing to a folder that does not exist on my machine:</p>
  
  <p><code>d:\projects\hubot\node_modules\hubot-hipchat\node_modules\node-xmpp\node_modules\node-xmpp-core</code></p>
  
  <p>node-xmpp-core does not exist.  I tried installing <code>node-xmpp-client</code> and <code>node-xmpp-sever</code> and once again...tons of errors.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea how I can get to the bottom of this mess?</p>
