after updating npm, installing docpad (npm install -g docpad) i've validate that my PATH has git and npm. i use docpad run and i got the following output:

C:\Work\Edu\docpad>docpad run

This appears to be a known issue and is referenced here:

https://github.com/bevry/docpad/issues/851

https://github.com/bevry/docpad/issues/488

The workaround described is to manually create the .docpad.cson file in your Windows/Users/[username]/ directory with the following (sample) content:

{
   name: "Your name"
   email: "Your email"
   username: "Your username"
   subscribed: true
   subscribeTryAgain: null
   tos: true
   identified: true
}

Once the file is created, start docpad as before.

You can run docpad run --silent to skip that question.

The answer by @syner2 is a good permanent answer. There is also the option to add the --offline parameter when you run docpad, as mentioned in this bug report.

Also, this is most definitely a bug. It will hopefully be fixed in the future, or at least a useful error should be displayed to make it easier to lookup the issue.
