Cannot install FDK version -

[j.couwenberg (Jeroen Couwenberg)]

Hi,

I removed all Node and NVM software and related files. Restarted my laptop.
I then followed the steps here using a elevated cmd prompt: Freshworks Developer Docs | Freshworks app ecosystem

At one point I install the FDK using this command:
npm install https://cdn.freshdev.io/fdk/latest.tgz -g

But that gives an error. See console log and npm log below.

npm-log.txt

Please advise as I am currently not able to develop or pack any apps.
By the way I also tried the steps as listed in this topic but the result is the same:

I found the issue myself. I stumbled upon an article that explained that the Symlink path, that you set when installing NVM For Windows should not contain any spaces. Unfortunately the installation program defaults to the “Program Files” folder so it does not work.
After setting the Symlink to “C:\nodejs” it worked fine. I can now execute FDK commands again.

The installation of the windows-build-tools still does not work for some reason but as the error log mentions, the tools should no longer be needed?
If this is the case perhaps you may want to remove this from the Quick Start guide of the developer pages.
