Hi,
Here are the errors I'm getting when trying to run a fresh installation of Adonis on Windows, some of which relate to https://github.com/adonisjs/adonis-framework/issues/429 and https://github.com/adonisjs/adonis-cli/issues/24

Closing since related PR has been merged. Will release today
Just encountered this issue myself on windows 7, any ideas?
Hey @haakym !
Which version of the CLI do you have?
@RomainLanz Hey man. Thanks for the fast response...
Adonis CLI 2.1.8
npm 3.10.8
node 7.5.0
Windows 7 64bit
Command ran from http://babun.github.io/
HTH, if there's anything else I can provide please let me know.
This is weird because this problem was fixed in the 2.1.8 version.
Could you take a screenshot of the exact error you have and upload it here?
@RomainLanz
Oh okay, most likely I'm doing something wrong lol.
Is this what you need?

Should I be cding into the folder and manually installing via npm?
I find that Yarn runs better for me than npm on Windows.

Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread.
That's really weird!
It's look like your version hasn't been updated. May you try to delete it and re-install the CLI?
Yup. yarn outperforms npm in many ways 😄
@RomainLanz
Uninstalled then reinstalled adonis cli and tried again new creating a new project, same issue.
Uninstalled cli then installed yarn then reinstalled adonis cli and ran using --yarn flag and got the same issue.
Just to confirm, did you try to install the dependencies using yarn --ignore-optional?
@haakym @niallobrien it seems that the fixed hasn't been published yet.
Ah okay, will keep my eyes on the repo and try later. Thanks for your assistance guys!
Hello, I want to test Adonis for the first time and get stuck by this error when I try npm run serve:dev on Windows 10. When is this going to be released?
