What is the problem?

When I try to install Blitz on Windows 10 using Yarn, I encounter the following error:

Supporting Documentation

I already have some Rust stuff installed:

> cargo --version
cargo 1.37.0 (9edd08916 2019-08-02)

> rustc --version
rustc 1.37.0 (eae3437df 2019-08-13)

Maybe that matters?

Thank you for posting this issue, @PullJosh.

What version of yarn and Windows build are you running? I just tested yarn global add blitz on my machine and did not have an issue.

[PullJosh]

Yarn version 1.15.2. Windows Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.778).

[PullJosh]

Updating Yarn did not fix the issue. Have a hunch that existing Rust installation is the cause.

From first glance at the error you posted, it looks like Rust and Cargo is messing with the installation. Someone more knowledgeable on this particular issue will reach out to you.

@PullJosh looks like this is a problem with the swc global dependency that you have installed. Doesn't look related to Blitz.

Can you try npm i -g blitz instead?

[PullJosh]

Installing with npm worked. Thanks! 👍
