[dtuando]

im having trouble getting this to work. Ive tried both the install script and following the instructions from the Documentation. I run into

Missing devDependencies to compile resource cache, please reinstall or run `npm install --only=dev` inside the project directory

Hey @dtuando are you using yarn for this?

[dtuando]

Yes. Using yarn

I've still had installation problems with the latest release too, looks like that needs more work. I can help debugging this if need to be, although I cannot currently remember how it is broken or what my workaround to get it running/upgraded was.

[markhughes]

@dtuando can you drop your version of node and npm please?

Got the same error after installing with npm on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS:

tobias@hpserver:~$ npm install @droppyjs/cli
npm WARN deprecated fsevents@2.1.3: "Please update to latest v2.3 or v2.2"

> core-js@3.21.1 postinstall /home/tobias/node_modules/core-js
> node -e "try{require('./postinstall')}catch(e){}"

@DerTobi75 you should install the cli globally npm install-g @droppyjs/cli

[DerTobi75]

@markhughes That results in the same Errors. I tried to install without -g because someone mentions that fixed the problem for him.

@markhughes

This is what I got, when I try to install the cli globally:

sudo npm install -g @droppyjs/cli
[sudo] password for tobias:
