Looks like a permissions issue. Any way to run this in a terminal you opened as an Administrator?

This is Admin Terminal... I tried chmod +x flags too but...

I'm having the same issues. Most of the permissions errors were really because those folders they were trying to rmdir didn't exist, so I slowly added those folders which eliminated all those errors, just leaving one

tunneling is the last part of this section of this project

Can confirm, broken on Windows 11, using nvm. Similar errors to above.

To me, it appears that the path to cjs is incorrect, even though it's definitely installed.

robbie-cahill commented 1 year ago

I wonder if its because of the script being like

"postinstall": "cjs/bin/postinstall.js"

That works fine on Linux (which I run as my main driver), because the script has this shebang at the top of it. I guess windows does not recognize that?

#!/usr/bin/env node

I've just published a new version which changes the script to explicitly invoke node.

"postinstall": "node cjs/bin/postinstall.js"

I don't have Windows installed to test however. Would one of you be able to test with the latest version 2.1.11?

yup. that seems to resolve the issue. npm install -g tunnelmole works perfectly fine on Windows 11. Thanks for the fast resolution!

robbie-cahill commented 1 year ago

Excellent, i'll close the issue
