Description

In a Linux instance, Gatsby CLI is breaking currently because it doesn't find src/postinstall.js from gatsby-telemetry when running gatsby new with NPX.

Steps to reproduce

1. Spin up a linux instance (Either a VM or container)
2. Download Node (tested on both 10 and 12 and breaks on both)
3. run npx gatsby new .

Expected result

Should just run

Actual result

Error:

@jamo Yeah it was a colleague of mine that was getting stuck with this, he did npm i -g gatsby-cli in the docker container he was working in to get around this issue for the time being.
