I tested the installation with the nextjs boilerplate and was able to install it with no problems
See pic attached

So the issue has to be something with the ecommerce template that i am unaware of.

Answered by Bighead carp

npm install in a regular Windows command prompt will fail, as git-hooks is trying to build a symlink. Running npm install in an administrator command prompt, however, will work.

Did you see the EPERM error?

@Bighead carp Do you have your dev server on

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T14:40:15.000Z

no, i tested on two other templates and was able to install with no issues, so its more of a conflict of libraries i think

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:40:24.000Z

try using yarn

@Sokoke Did you see the EPERM error?

or restart your pc

Sokoke

2024-02-22T14:40:40.000Z

Open a Admin terminal and try it again

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:40:57.000Z

Delete the .next and node_modules folder, and run npm install

i deleted node modules but i dont see the .next file , and got the same error

this is what the template comes with

maybe im being dumb since im new to this but

could it be not top level npm install

and instead i need to cd into a folder and do it

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:42:25.000Z

Have you restarted your computer since it first happened

yes

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:42:35.000Z

Where are you cd'd into

right now

show me your terminal

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T14:42:40.000Z

i deleted nodejs as well and reinstalled

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:43:09.000Z

it'll probably be because you're in onedrive

move your project onto your machine outside of a network drive

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T14:43:20.000Z

yea i had a feeling ngl

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:43:26.000Z

Let me know if it works

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T14:43:34.000Z

this is going to be dumb af

but i tried this and it always hooks into my onedrive idk why

like i made it on my c drive a folder

i made it on my desktop

i might just reinstall windows and skip the one drive connection this time around

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:44:27.000Z

Yeah I suggest doing that

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T14:45:04.000Z

i did think this would be an issue because its a permissions error but i just really wanted to hope to find a different solution

ill reinstall and let yall know

thanks

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T14:45:23.000Z

Could you mark the solution

If it works

delete your .git folder

and try again

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T16:47:48.000Z

going to try to do another install of the template and try again since that didn't work either, i spoke with vercel themselves and they were able to install it on their end so its something blocking it on my end i just dont know what im doing wrong...

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:01:53.000Z

Did you try to delete your .git folder

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:05:13.000Z

yes

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:07:26.000Z

100% can't be the same error

Send me a screenshot proving this

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:08:37.000Z

sure sec

its something with symlink not having access

but i removed onedrive and all

Get out of WSL

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:10:15.000Z

sorry whats WSL

ah is it cause my pc isn't linux?

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:11:07.000Z

You're using WSL right now

It's the subsystem for Linux

open the root directory in command prompt and try running your command again

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:11:29.000Z

this is on powershell

oks ec

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:11:50.000Z

Right I've just asked you to prove to me you dont have a .git folder, through a video

and you've shown me a screenshot proving nothing really other than you have the same issue you've already stated

Show me a VIDEO of you WITHOUT a .git folder, and you trying to run the command

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:12:21.000Z

you asked me for a screenshot of the error? im confused?

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:12:30.000Z

oh i meant video sorry

I thought I wrote video

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:12:39.000Z

you're good

give me a second

since this is a new install of the template ill record myself deleting it too

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:15:45.000Z

Do you have the link to the repo by the way

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:16:05.000Z

i can give it yea sec

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:16:13.000Z

Do you also have antivirus

Blue horntail woodwaspOP

2024-02-22T17:16:38.000Z

just windows security but i have no alerts or w/e on so i dont need to approve

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:19:09.000Z

There's an (old) github issue here with your issue https://github.com/vercel/git-hooks/issues/10

Bighead carp

2024-02-22T17:19:51.000Z

npm install in a regular Windows command prompt will fail, as git-hooks is trying to build a symlink. Running npm install in an administrator command prompt, however, will work.
