Error calling npm to fetch template.\

[k5reeves]

I am receiving the following error when attempting to create a new bot. Anyone have any idea how to resolve?

Error calling npm to fetch template. Please ensure that node and npm are installed and available on your system. Full error message: Command failed with exit code 1: npm install -g --prefix

Hi @k5reeves

Please run each of the commands from a terminal and let us know the results:

• npm -v
• node -v

[k5reeves]

npm -v = 8.13.2 node -v = 16.2.0

Thank you @k5reeves

Can you run the following command in an empty directory from a terminal? This is to ensure that npm is working normally:

npm install @microsoft/generator-bot-empty

Once complete, let me know if it was successful, or share what the error message is. Then you can delete that folder and it's contents.

Hi @k5reeves

Apologies for the delay. Can you please run the following, then re-launch Composer and then try again? npm install -g [email protected]

[dmvtech]

Closing due to lack of response. If assistance is still needed, please comment with the findings and we will reopen.

I’m not having any luck getting it to work. I now have the most up to date versions of npm and NodeJS but am still getting the exact error below.

npm install -g –prefix C:\Users\kreeves4\AppData\Roaming\BotFrameworkComposer.yo-repository --loglevel error --no-optional @microsoft/generator-bot-empty@*
