• Search the issues already opened: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-functions-emulator/issues

If you are still having issues, please be sure to include as much information as
possible:

Environment details

• OS: X
• Node.js version: 6
• npm version: 5.6
• @google-cloud/functions-emulator version:1.0.0-beta.5

Steps to reproduce

1. install the package, but not globally
2. call functions by calling the execution file directly from node_modules
3. get error: Error: Cannot find module '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@google-cloud/functions-emulator/src/supervisor/worker.js'

Following these steps will guarantee the quickest resolution possible.

Thanks!
