Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NarrativeScience-old/log.io/issues/27

for add new user you should use useradd command.
adduser in some distro like ubuntu is a link to useradd but in some other (Arch for example) is other tool and install hangs since adduser need user input (but useradd dont need that)

I think the install.sh need a lot of tweak.
If you use --prefix then this make many problems

Thanks very much for your pull request, I knew very little about useradd/adduser... It has been merged in v0.2.7.

its also change the default home page for this user (not /home/log.io, but inside the instalation folder) and also create a system user (so the gdm or any other display manager like kdm ,simply ignore this.)
Its a good idea to inform people to drop old user before upgrade
