Problem with installing netlify-cli

Support

OS: Debian 12.5.0

When I try to install netlify-cli via terminal, I get this

$ npm install -g netlify-cli

I already installed sharp

$ npm list -g --depth=0
/home/username/.nvm/versions/node/v20.11.1/lib
├── corepack@0.23.0
├── npm@10.2.4
└── sharp@0.33.2

Here is the log file mentioned above (in npm install -g netlify-cli:

And two other things:

  1. It won’t let me upload a .log text file because it is “unauthorized”. It will only let me upload .png and .zip and so on
  2. It won’t even let me paste the whole thing, there is a character limit.

It says request timed out, so looks like a network error to me?

But sharp is already installed and my network is good

Okay, but that’s what the error in the logs says. Not sure if there’s something Netlify can help with here.

I am also getting the exact same issue. How was this resolved? @ShobanChiddarth @hrishikesh

The issue was with a failure to download a package from a GitHub repo. The failure was not at Netlify so we could neither identify the root cause nor fix it (as we do not control what happens at GitHub).

What is the exact error you are seeing, @piyush15011991?
