Nuxt.js Installation Errors

Question

I've tried to install a nuxt-app app a few times now. I've run it in my terminal with npm and yarn and as an administrator in the powershell. I continue to encounter errors in creating the app.

I've included the error log below for reference. I think that the problem is with this throw error: throw new SAOError(Failed to install ${packageName} in ${cwd})

But I'm not sure. For reference, the system I'm using is Windows 7.

I've included photos of the error logs below:

• Log1 The errors start about halfway through the log.

• Log2

• Log3

Please and thank you.

Answer 1

Late to the party.

Make sure you use LTS version node instead of current one.

Had the same issue with 16.4.0. After switching to 14.17.1, the installation works with no error.

Answer 2

Okey dokey. What ended up working for me was running the following code:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

as an administrator in the PowerShell.

This installed both Microsoft visual studio and Python 2.7. After executing the previously mentioned code, I ceased receiving errors for my nuxt.js app.

Answer 3

From the error, it seems the installer expects to find a python executable and fails.

You need to install python on your system, and make sure that it's accessible from the PATH environment variable.
