Can't find .hyperlayout in my home directory

[nobleach]

I just gave this plugin a shot as it seemed like it may have some features I miss from Tmux. I just used a bare example setup of two horizontal panes (from the README.md). Even though I saved this file to my home directory, I get an error that says the file cannot be found.

I guess I can try the other methods, but shouldn't this work?

@nobleach There's likely a syntax error in your layout. Try something simple, like:

[
  [
    ["echo Hello", "echo World"]
  ]
]

and see if it works?

Assuming you created the .hyperlayout file containing the layout configuration, the problem seems that you don't have hyperlayout installed globally. So, try with npm install -g hyperlayout.

I ran first npm install -g hyperlayout hpm-cli and it installed hyperlayout inside ~/.hyper_plugins/node_modules/hyperlayout.

Perhaps the issue should be renamed. The problem may be in the error message. Since when there is a .hyperlayout file with bad syntax the message is Can't find any hyperlayout preset (.hyperlayout, package.json, ~./hyperlayout)

I'd call this a UI feature story to improve the error message when a configuration file exists but may have a format error.
