  • NodeJS v6.11.2
  • npm v5.3.0

Command:

  • npm install -g nativescript

Error Log:

Few suggestions - 1.) try to clean your npm cache (npm cache clean) and then retry the installation - you can also try to install a lower version of npm. 2.) Disable any antivirus before trying to install NativeScript. 3.) Post your actual error log – Nick Iliev
@Nick, thanks for your response. 1) I just found this from npm official doc ''It should never be necessary to clear the cache for any reason other than reclaiming disk space, thus why clean now requires --force to run.". I am not sure I really need to do this. My peer installed without such error by using Node JS 8.x.x, a higher version then mine. I also tried 8.x.x, same error. 2) I will try to disable the antivirus before installing. 3) This is the whole content I copied from the log file. – Hui
