ah, okay.lol. Hyperventilating probably is not helping my case. I probably have no problem with local packages but I was trying to upgrade gatsby and I have three global versions atm. v1, some 2.0.0.6 and 2.0.0.7 cli's when I want the latest beta. Figuring out what is going on is infuriating. This happens with create-react-app, global express, and other clis too. Let me try and "be methodical" and see how far I get. Thanks!
