I ran into this issue aswell, quite a lot. This is the interesting part:
error: *-> Or maybe you don't have permissions to access the .tmp directory?
error: e.g., C:\xampp\htdocs\soochna_sails\.tmp ?
error:
error: If you think this might be the case, try running:
error: sudo chown -R YOUR_COMPUTER_USER_NAME C:\xampp\htdocs\soochna_sails.tmp
You are obviously hosting on windows, so try making the .tmp folder write accessible or delete it manually prior to launching your application in production mode.
