Sharepoint Online - npm install sp-dev-fx-webparts error

Brass Contributor

Hey all,

 

For days I have been trying to install some of the sample webparts found on github

It may also be worth noting, that I am not a developer or anything like that, and I am completely new to using node.

I am using Npm version is 6.13.1, but the install always ends up like below after running npm install:

There is alot of information in the log file, but honestly I have no idea how to put that information to good use, but I have attached to this message

I have done my SharePoint Framework according to this guide:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/set-up-your-development-environment

 

I have tried re-install several times but not with any luck. 
This may not be a node.js problem at all, but maybe a problem with the samples I am trying to install, and I that is the case so be it, I would just really like to test out these samples, since some of them seem to contain some pretty cool functionality.

 

Hope some of you have some advice on this one

Best regards

Michael

Hope to get a help on this one

 

Thanks in Advance

3 years later I came across this same problem, when trying to get started with the SPFx installation but no luck and only failing errors. Anyone found a solution?
