Same here on Windows 10

Same here on Windows 10 too

alexsandro-xpt on 1 Feb 2019

Similar error on Windows 10:

@benlove This is a different problem I believe it was already fixed as [email protected] is present on npm now https://www.npmjs.com/package/apollo-link

sodatea on 2 Feb 2019

For Windows users: this is the expected behavior. fsevents is a macOS-only package, that's why it's an optional dependency.

sodatea on 2 Feb 2019

@sodatea seeing a bunch of warnings and errors doesn't give the impression of a successful install though? How come my install on macOS skipped the optional fsevents?

GeertClaes on 2 Feb 2019

@GeertClaes Sorry but I cannot reproduce this issue on my Mac. Maybe it's a npm or node-pre-gyp bug.

sodatea on 2 Feb 2019

@sodatea maybe it's node/npm version issue? What version node/npm do you have? I found an older article where something similar happened: https://forum.vuejs.org/t/issues-installing-vue-cli/53167

GeertClaes on 2 Feb 2019

@GeertClaes I'm using the exact same versions as yours…

  System:
    OS: macOS 10.14.2
    CPU: (8) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz
  Binaries:
    Node: 10.15.1 - ~/n/bin/node
    Yarn: 1.13.0 - /usr/local/bin/yarn
    npm: 6.7.0 - ~/n/bin/npm

sodatea on 3 Feb 2019

Cleared the entire node and npm again, added myself to wheel and staff groups and ran this: sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share before installing again without errors

godzillante on 17 Jun 2019

For me it worked withnpm install -g @vue/cli@latest .
Now i have ERRORS when i try to create with : sudo vue create client .
Can anyone help me with this one?

TodeDragos on 1 Jul 2019

@TodeDragos https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/troubleshooting.html#running-installation-with-sudo-or-as-root
In short: don't use sudo.

sodatea on 1 Jul 2019

👍4

the problem was with the FOLDER of my project. It was created with some "root" permisions and because of that the sudo vue create client didn't worked.
Solution: i've created another folder/project and it worked fine without the sudo parameter.

TodeDragos on 3 Jul 2019

Finally, I solved with

sudo npm install -g @vue/cli --unsafe-perm

Worked like a charm!
