Try to start tutorial with Gatsby.

Steps to reproduce

Remove nodeJS from my Windows 10 computer:

• Add or Remove Programs, then remove node.
• Clean the %APPDATA%/npm and %APPDATA%/npm-cache.

Install nodejs v14.11.0 with all defaulted options.

Then

npm i -g gatsby
gatsby

Expected result

According the doc, I see a help screen...

Actual result

...But in fact, I get an error stack trace as described above.

Environment

Run gatsby info --clipboard in your project directory and paste the output here.
Sorry I cannot, I get the error stacktrace.

Sorry about that - I just opened pull request that reverts the change that caused this ( https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pull/26921 )

As a workaround until fix gets merged and published - please do npm install -g [email protected] to use 1 version before the problem

Thanks for the QuickFix.
Is it possible to add CIT to the pipeline to be sure that the release still working ?
