Setup issues - node modules are not installed.

[memurali]

Node Modules are not installed, while I'm creating the foundation project using Foundation CLI. Foundation watch command also not working.

Node version - v16.18.0
NPM version - 8.19.2
Foundation CLI version 2.3.2

These are the errors i have faced

 1)   **There were some problems during the installation.

          ✓ New project folder created.
          ✗ Node modules not installed. Try running yarn install manually.

     Once you've resolved the above issues, run foundation watch while inside the webapp folder.**



2)       **C:\xampp\htdocs\web-Design\webapp>foundation watch

             C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\foundation-cli\lib\commands\watch.js:26
             npm.commands.start.apply(this, []);
                   ^

             TypeError: npm.commands.start.apply is not a function
             at C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\foundation-cli\lib\commands\watch.js:26:24**

Can someone help me with this?

@memurali You shoud first install the node_modules with "yarn install" command. When these are installend you can use the "yarn start" command (which is in fact the same as foundation watch). For production, you can run "yarn run build"

Thank you.

I'm running into similar issues. I tried doing npm install and then when I run npm run build I get this issue:

Yeah, I agree. This is the most difficult thing to install it's becoming UNREAL. I would install YARN, but considering it's not working with Node/NPM, I hestitate to even try. The help documentation is really useless. Foundation needs a new technical writer. I can't believe anyone is even able to use Foundation.
