Adapt Learning Community: Cannot Install adapt-cli

I have tried with various versions of Node so I don't think that is the problem. Here is the result when I run the command:

wlan4-178:Desktop Training$ npm install -g adapt-cli

Hi Philip

You don't mention what operating system you're using. It's clearly not Windows but I can't tell if it's Linux or macOS.

Node 8.9.1 certainly works OK for installing adapt-cli on Windows but I've never tried it on other platforms.

Hi Philip,

try the steps from this posting: https://community.adaptlearning.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1769&parent=8063

If I read your log correct, at the end it complains about the lifecycle scripts. I had a similar experience, and for me the legacy usage solved my problem (be it on Ubuntu)

Success! I have the framework installed at last. Thanks for directing me to this post.
