vue-cli npm安装错误。 ELIFECYCLE ENOENT产生protobufjs

Question

I am trying to install vue-cli 3 with the given instructions.

   npm install -g @vue/cli

Environment:

WSL
Ubuntu 18
Node 8.12.0
npm 6.4.1
"n" node version manager

It appears the problem is node's child_process.spawn which is used by the protobufjs@6.8.8 postinstall script

See this: child_process.spawn does not work with npm run scripts on windows github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3675

QUESTION is there a way to prevent that postinstal script from running and allowing the rest of the installation and I can somehow run postinstall manually later?

here is the error:

stack Error: protobufjs@6.8.8 postinstall: `node scripts/postinstall`

error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Answer 1

I used the ignore-scripts flag

npm install  @vue/cli -g --ignore-scripts

Then I did the same for protobufjs

npm install protobufjs  -g --ignore-scripts

Finally i manually ran the protobufjs postinstall script

node ~/n/lib/node_modules/protobufjs/bin/scripts/postinstall.js

My installation appears to be working correctly now.
