installation troubles, packages failing

passive

Trying to install everything strictly after the guide at https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/windows/ (yes, I am on windows), the installation step keeps throwing me into errors.

noteably the nodebb-plugin-emoji-android package just doesn't want to install, be that the version that it expected (run via nodebb setup) or attempting to manually run npm install nodebb-plugin-emoji-android@latest but fail.

latest returns:

Happy to hear any kind of suggestion! Would love to get this to work, looks really promising compared to other solutions I've seen so far.

@passive try downgrading npm

Error on "./nodebb setup"

@ivorzk ah sorry it's actually the npm version that matters here. You need to downgrade to the previous major version: npm install --global npm@6
