Hi,

clipboard-cli does not seem to work on Ubuntu

  • I installed with npm install --global clipboard-cli
  • versions
    • os: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
    • node: v7.2.0
    • npm: 3.10.9
hurtak@dell-latitude:~$ echo "hello" | clipboard 
hurtak@dell-latitude:~$ clipboard 
null

I tried on different Ubuntu computer (Ubuntu 16.10, node 7.2.0) and there is the same problem.

Oh, I see, in clipboard readme there is a note about installing xsel on linux. I will make pull prequest to add this note to this repo readme.

It should have thrown a nice error informing you to install xsel, but it was buggy: sindresorhus/clipboardy@82acb3b
