Failing to install Angular dependencies

Hi. I’m trying my first Netlify deployment, through GIT and it’s failing to install all dependencies. It works locally on a brand new environment, but not on Netlify. Here are the logs:

I’d assume NODE_ENV production is causing issues. Try removing it.

I tried adding to fix the issue. The problem is the same without any environment variables

Ohhh I think it’s because I have a .npmrc file with content “script-shell=cmd”. Removing it works
