beefy will not work without browserify installed

[mattdesl]

Just tested on a fresh OSX machine that was using NVM to manage multiple node versions. It seems like global installs were going into an .nvm folder.

Nothing would happen when running beefy (just quits, no errors or logs). Once browserify was installed globally, everything worked fine.

I had a similar issue just now and installing watchify as a dev dependency of the project did the trick.

From the README

"Beefy searches for bundlers in the following order:

First, it checks your local project's node_modules for watchify.
Then it checks locally for browserify.
Failing that, it checks for a global watchify.
Then falls back to a global browserify."
