Unable to install sinon@16.1.1

OS: CentOS Stream release 8 NodeJS: v18.9.1 npm: 8.19.1

npm install simply fails with:

No issue with sinon@16.1.0.

Same here .. It seems a git call was added to the postinstall "postinstall": "git config --replace-all core.hooksPath scripts/hooks" https://github.com/sinonjs/sinon/blob/main/package.json#L62

Depending on the project. Adding ignore-scripts=true to .npmrc may work for you as a workaround (note that this disables all scripts from dependencies)

Good call! I'll fix it up. That postinstall was only supposed to affect people developing on Sinon 🙈

Verified to work. Sorry about the temporary glitch. Just try installing npm i sinon@latest

I have issue on 16.1.2 and latest too:

npm i sinon@latest
npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path C:\_Utilisateurs\Project\Edge-AI\EECV-3DScene\node_modules\sinon
npm ERR! command failed

16.1.3 is the latest version. Can you show me the commands used? Start with removing node_modules

npm i sinon@16.1.3 -D 
# OK?
