I get the following error in npm when I run npm install -g @vue/cli

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: [email protected] (node_modules\@vue\cli\node_modules\fsevents): npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

The problem seems to be with node's child_process.spawn which is used by the [email protected] postinstall script See this: child_process.spawn does not work with npm run scripts on windows github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3675 – DogBot

fsevents Looking at the error this dependency is looking to work on darwin which is Mac and you are using Windows. It's a library allows applications to register for notifications of changes to a given directory tree in MacOS. Your vue app should be fine without it on windows.

protobufjs is a Protocol Buffers Library. It's used for serializing structured data. Take a look at https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf for protocol buffers for windows. It's a binary to support protocol buffers from github.
