What is the current behaviour?
After running npm i -g preact-cli@latest I get tf output:

I'm experiencing the same problem with :
Node 8.10.0
npm 5.7.1
Ubuntu 17.10

[reznord]

I am not able to reproduce this issue in my local machine. Can you please give me some info on how to reproduce this?

Almost fresh install of node and npm, used for some Laravel development.

uname -a && lsb_release -d && node -v && npm -v
Linux r35 4.4.0-116-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 12 21:23:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

5.8.0

As noticed, yarn works indeed.

[avalanche1]

@reznord , I don't even know how to reproduce this - considering that I'm trying to install globally.. it should just install

Hi,

With Docker:

FROM node:9

RUN npm install -g preact-cli

Node version:

root@00a31a3232e8:/src# node -v

Curious what environments are actually working. I am hesitant to turn my personal linux workstation into a js developer workstation thus the need to test out in codeanywhere.com.

If you don't need Node 6.x compatibility, you can use the prerelease version, which does not include simplehttp2server or preact serve within it.

npm install preact-cli@next

And if I do need Node 6.x compatibility? I use react-cli and angular-cli
for bench testing various PWA's.

Then unfortunately see above. The issue has to do with your npm not handling the binary download correctly. Best bet is to install the package directly, as mentioned, or to use the latest version of npm.

[lukeed]

Also, perhaps it's worth clarifying that the 6.x note was for dev/building of the static assets. Server / runtime needs can operate independently of CLI needs since the CLI still produces code according to the (webpack) config values.

[neuraltek]

Installed latest however now when I try to create a web project (i.e.
preact create), I am getting the following error:

abox@box-codeanywhere:~/workspace$ preact create default test-pwa-project
✖ ERROR Invalid package name: undefined
~ Name cannot be undefined

Looking at the help documentation for this version of preact, looks like
you need to specify a directory now. So I did and now I get the following:

cabox@box-codeanywhere:~/workspace$ preact create simple
/home/cabox/workspace/preact-test test-pwa-project --force
? You are using '--force'. Do you wish to continue? Yes
ℹ INFO Initializing project in the current directory!
✖ ERROR Invalid package name: undefined
~ Name cannot be undefined

Do you mean preact-cli@next or latest of npm?

If you meant CLI, then that might be a bug. Pass in a --name NAME flag & it'll be happy.

[neuraltek]

I installed preact-cli@next and it seemed to go through. Creating my
project now. Thanks to the --name tag. However, it's been over 10 min and
its still creating my preact project.

Okay, well something is still going on there. A create command only takes about 10-30 seconds to complete.

[neuraltek]

Thanks for everything Luke. Took 2+ hours to complete. And when trying to
install pending dependencies, that fails but the core preact app still
works as I can run in 'dev' mode. With all that is required, I am going to
stay away from
preact unless its a requirement. I got my lighthouse benchmark results.

Closing this for now since we are not able to reproduce this. The issue might be with installing the simplehttp2server.

Installing it globally should solve the issue

As Jason said running, npm install -g simplehttp2server preact-cli should do the work.
