@nivida I have the same issue

Could not install from "node_modules/web3-providers-ws/websocket@github:web3-js/WebSocket-Node#905deb4812572b344f5801f8c9ce8bb02799d82e" as it does not contain a package.json file.

Works fine with yarn though.! weird

Thanks for opening this issue! We will remove the GitHub dependency as soon as possible. But be sure the required tools (e.g.: git) are installed on your PC and the permissions are defined correctly.

Hi, yes we did. That version had git as dependency

In order to resolve this issue we installed git for windows from here
https://git-scm.com/download/win or here https://gitforwindows.org/
