ti.alloy plugin exception on run command

[rixrix]

The alloy plugin is looking for the node and alloy binaries under /usr/local/bin but on my machine they are installed under /opt/local/bin which basically throws out a bunch of python exception when run.

@rixrix a quick workaround would be to create a symbolic link from your installation of node to the directory where it is expected to be, which is /usr/local/bin/node. You could also modify the ti.alloy plugin in your project to use the path on your system. These problems should disappear when we get TiStudio integration with Alloy, but I'll look for a better way to detect the node installation path in the meantime.

Thanks @tonylukasavage for the symlink suggestion. I also had to rm /usr/local/bin/alloy in favor of /Users/micahalcorn/nvm/v0.8.8/bin/alloy. Obviously my placement issue is affected by NVM, which appears to be the preferred method of installation these days.
