I'm a bit confused as this is the third instance of the installing the framework that I have performed and I haven't had this issue present itself before. When installing the grunt-cli via npm the installation works fine, it's only when I try to install the adapt-cli.

I'm using a posh-git powershell for the install.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Curtis

What's the command you're running to kick off all the above?

Someone else is having what could be the same problem: https://community.adaptlearning.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=843

We have just released v2 of the framework, including the CLI. Might be worth trying again tomorrow?

Hi Curtis,

Can I add some observations?

First if you have had adapt installed previously then you should run a global update

npm update adapt-cli -g

This will perform a global install, not just into the current directory.

In addition to what Matt said, the log says "unable to connect to github.com" so it might be worth checking your firewall.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks Chris and Matt,

You were correct in your suggestion that it was the firewall. Our IT department has now sorted it out for us I've been able to install it successfully. It was just a bit confusing as I'd gone through the process no longer than a week ago without issue and I couldn't imagine why a firewall restriction would now be in place.

All resolved now though!

Thank you both for your prompt replies!

Curtis
