If you navigate directly to the url: https://registry.yarnpkg.com/@salesforce/lwc-dev-server-dependencies/ does it show anything for you?

[sfdcdevops]

it redirects to "https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/add" page

I had some problems installing it too. Just uninstall the sfdx you currently have and install it again. Then run sfdx update. After that, run the command to install the plugin again. It worked for me.

[BobSeu]

Are you behind a proxy? Whenever I've seen that error in relation to sfdx, it's because I hadn't set my HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.

What is the fix for this?

[vijayygr]

I got it resolved this issue. Here is what it worked for me:

1. Installation of Nodejs software and disconnect from office network VPN (if connected). 2. >Install node gyp by running        npm install -g node-gyp
2. And then after that, you can run       npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
3. And finally tried the below command it worked after 2 3 times..      sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server

I am facing the same issue. I tried the following. I updated the CLI by issuing the command sfdx update. Then I ran the command sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server. Unfortunately, it failed. Please see the below screenshot.

Tried the below comands as suggested but still did not work. Installation of Nodejs software and disconnect from office network VPN (if connected).

1. Install node gyp by running npm install -g node-gyp
2. And then after that, you can run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

I am sorry to see that the bug type has automatically changed to type 3. Where this must be considered as a show-stopper. Because I cannot move beyond to install the lwc-dev-server.

[AllanOricil]

@prolayc are you sure you removed sfdx completely before reinstalint it again and then, finally, install the plugin?

[prolayc]

@AllanOricil, Thank you for your response. Yes, I did and getting the same error. Please find the screenshot below

[AllanOricil]

@prolayc could you run node -v and post a screen shot here of the output.

If you see a negative message go through this tutorial
[https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-resolve-node-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-error-after-installing-node-js/amp/ ] to install node. You must install the LTS version of node as per salesforce documentation.

Then after solving a possible bad node version instalation, remove every sfdx package, clear yarn and npm caches, and finally install sfdx from scratch, followed by the dev server plugin.

If you keep seeing the same message as before, run yarn add node-gpy -g. Then try to install de plugin again.

If you still see the same error message then it is better if you open a Case for Salesforce showing in details all the steps you attempted. This will help them to understand what is going wrong and, perhaps, lead to an update on the documentation.

If even they can't figure out the problem, switch to Linux or Macos and your life will change forever, as most of this errors only happen on windows.

[prolayc]

Thank you, @AllanOricil for your reply. I am using the node Windows version. I downloaded it from Node.JS Official Website Please find the screenshot of my Node, NPM, and npx versions.

I will totally uninstall Node and SFDX. Then I will find the empty directories in windows by using the commandC:\>dir *node* /s. I will do the same for the SFDX also. And then I will delete all the existing folders. I am not going to touch the Windows registry because it is going to be extremely harmful if I delete keys from the Windows registry

Then I will post it here.

Unfortunately, I have a Windows machine. I can install Linux on my VMWARE. But from the sfdx plugin perspective, I would say it should be working in all the operating systems.

[prolayc]

I did everything but it still failed.

@prolayc @DeveloperSudipto I see you have similar-ish issue that I had, please refer to this comment in issue #118

Completely uninstall sfdx for your operating system system. A google search will show you how. Reinstall same, update plugins and then install the lwc server. This should resolve the issue. Hope this helps.

[Ybounaas]

thank you @tanveer263, that worked for me, but I had to install it on ubuntu with sudo apt-get install -y node-gyp then sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server

[muthuchinnachamy]

1. I installed latest NPM package. Then I got an error like; [Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-]

2. So I used this command in my MacOs. sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-gyp

3. Then I installed the Local development sever sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server

1. Open 'Control Panel'
2. Type 'Environment Variables'
3. Go to: User Variables section
4. Add this path : C:\Program Files\nodejs\ Hope it helps someone. Happy Coding. Cheers!!!
