node.jsinstallationnode-pty

fail to install node-pty library

I'm trying to add node-pty. Set as the following in the package.json file "node-pty": "^0.10.1" (it's a 3 years old project) but it's returning the error when I run the yarn install command:

    error C:\Users\neto\Desktop\testes\newton\node_modules\node-pty: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node scripts/install.js
Arguments:
Directory: C:\Users\neto\Desktop\testes\newton\node_modules\node-pty
Output:

    throw new ErrnoException(err, 'spawn');
    ^

  code: 'EINVAL',
  syscall: 'spawn'

I've tried add a recenet version, it result in even more errors. I have no idea how to fix that. The issue is with node-pty, if I remove this, yarn ran fine.

Solution

  • I did downgrade to node 20.12.1, as @ Sebastian Kaczmarek mentioned and it worked
