Want to run meteor in project directory, but npm is not getting installed properly in directory. There is some error in npm post-install script. My project is based on Linux but due to issues i have to run the server from windows. Front end is supported by React Native and Backend is supported by MongoDB. Everytime i try to install npm in project directory it shows following error.
Running npm-postinstall.js

It looks like it's failing on a post installation script. See this response for some ideas on how to disable it. npm: disable postinstall script for package
Otherwise you can try using yarn instead, as it doesn't execute post install scripts. It also runs a bit quicker. As long as your node version matches the meteor node version, it should be safe to use yarn
