help Unable to install Node JS on Macbook OS.

Details

I am on mac OS 10.11.6 when I am trying to install Node.JS LTS or latest version, I get the following error message: node-v16.15.1.pkg can't be installed because its digital signature is invalid. The package may have been corrupted or tampered with. Get a new copy of the package and try again.

I have tried to uninstall and install several times but cannot overcome this. I am then facing issues when running the npm create-react-app command in my terminal where the EACCESS error message is displayed.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I get the following error message: node-v16.15.1.pkg can't be installed because its digital signature is invalid. The package may have been corrupted or tampered with. Get a new copy of the package and try again.

Where did you download the Node.js installer/binary from? You should be downloading them from the official Node.js website if you aren't already, as all the digital signatures are valid.

I am then facing issues when running the npm create-react-app command in my terminal where the EACCESS error message is displayed.

That happens when either npm or the installation process of packages tries to access something outside of their given privilege, you can escalate the privileges by running the command with the sudo command.

Hi thanks for your message.

I have tried to Sudo command as you’ve advised and I am still not having any luck creating a react app on VS code. Are there any other commands you can suggest to overcome this?

Thank you, Jhaap

Can you show us the stacktrace of the error you're encountering when running the command?

Hi there,

Thanks for your response. To summarise, when downloading NodeJs from NodeJs.org (either the current or LTS version) I am getting the below error:

[cid:d51bb47e-b17b-441b-bc11-0c22c7f358b7]

When opening VS Code and trying to create react app using the command 'npm i -g create-react-app' or npm i -g create-react-app' and then npm i -g create-react-app' I get this (EACCESS Error): [cid:482e7920-fb2e-42c2-b4db-77650f69e91d]

I have tried to google and youtube various trouble shooting tips including 'mkdir' command and sudo commands. I have also tried to uninstall and re install but have not had any luck so far. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I am on mac OS 10.11.6.

Thank you in advance,

Jhaap

I just encountered this issue again. I was trying to upgrade my node version and I installed the latest node version on the home page 20.11.0 for my mac and encountered "The installation failed" error message identical to the image posted above.

I am not sure how to get a stack-trace of a desktop installer application failure.
