I am completely stuck on ‘installing dependencies’ (1 hour thus far) after running ‘npx create-strapi-app@latest’ in both VS Code terminal (bash) and with node.js command prompt.
The issue is now resolved. I updated node.js to version 16.13.1 and npm to version 8.3.0 and now I can install the dependencies.
Follow up error, I still can’t start the development server. This is a copy from my terminal:
Creating files.
Dependencies installed successfully.
Your application was created at…
backend@0.1.0 build
strapi build “–no-optimization”
Building your admin UI with development configuration …
ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘@strapi/design-system/themes’ in ‘D:\Documents\Web Development\Courses\Strapi Crash Course with React and GraphQL\reviews-app\backend.cache\admin\src’…
Resolved the second issue by running:
npm install @strapi/design-system
I had same problem, and I talked to @DMehaffy about it and he told me that they know about the problem and for now node >= 16 isn’t supported. Strapi will solve this soon.
it’s supported in v4 but not v3.
For v4 we know the reason I believe and temp workaround is downgrade to node 14 or install yarn globally.
It’s primarily because npm 8 is crazy about dependencies whereas yarn doesn’t care…
I had same issue with my project and I solved by downgrading the npm to v7.24.2, maybe the same will be available for v4. The npm v8.0 is in fact some alfa version, they stripped out programmatic api.
I made this installations…
npm install @strapi/desingn-system
npm install --save-dev webpack
npm install util
npm install assert
npm install --save-dev process
When the terminal showed me errors, it showed me the modules missing…
Now is running.
Hello there, I just wanted to add to this post. I had this same problem and was able to resolve it by updating NPM using this command: npm install -g npm@latest. Hope this helps!
1 year later and still the same issue (windows 11 & visual code, npm 9.2.0)
Impossible to install with : npx create-strapi-app@latest my-project
Error log : impossible to install dependencies etc…
