Crashes on discovery and status

[OsirisTerje]

Windows 8.1, admin cmd prompt
Installs just fine, no warnings nor errors
npm version 5.6.0
node version 8.9.2

Running : "gr tag discover . " to tag all repos under a given folder

Then trying to see if this is something odd here, I try "gr status", but get:

It comes from this line of code basically, which tries to decide which editor to use to allow you to edit the file it generates for the .grconfig.json setup, and if no environment variables are set, it defaults to the nano editor (which isn't available on Windows especially):

var editor = process.env['GIT_EDITOR'] || process.env['EDITOR'] || 'nano'

Set your EDITOR environment variable to whatever your editor of choice is (e.g. code, or notepad++, or even notepad), then try again.

You could also probably manually edit the ~/.grconfig.json file yourself probably and then use gr as normal, I guess.
