i installed node.js and VS Code, opened the windows PowerShell in the folder, but after i type ‘npm create narrat@latest’ and enter, it shows ‘The “npm” item cannot be recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or runnable program’ (i translated it from my non-English system, may not be completely accurate). and i looked at the instruction video which shows the exactly thing i did in this step and succussed, so i don’t know where i did wrong?
windows:
Did you try restarting after installing node.js? Maybe the pc didn’t know about the command yet… If node.js is installed npm should exist. Or try installing node again
thank you! i reinstalled it and it worked. but now i’m stuck on another step); after “npm install” it always stops in the middle like this, unlike the construction video where it smoothly goes into next step…
I’m not sure why it’s doing this but I found this when looking it up.
Some of the replies say it’s a bug with a specific version of node/npm (though I’m not sure why no one else using narrat got this) and say to do this:
“Same here. node 18.12.1 npm 8.19.2. the only solution was to downgrade to npm v6 npm install -g npm@6
”
So maybe try npm install -g npm@6 and then restart the terminal and see if it works
Or also as this comment says, maybe you just need to wait longer:
thank you! i tried the downgrade code and restarted it, waited a few hours longer but it eventually worked! 
I have the same issue with having trouble installing the engine. In my case though, npm is giving error about create narrat@latest. I think it might be because I already have npm prior to the installation of node.js what actions should i take so i can finally install the engine?
I don’t know if that’s the case but the fact that you’re in the program files folder might be causing permission issues, might be worth trying in a more normal folder
