What's the command you're using? Composer is not intended to be installed this way

[amangit007]

I am following the steps given in readme.md which are

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer.git
cd BotFramework-Composer
cd Composer # switch to Composer folder
yarn install # install dependencies
yarn build # build extensions and libs
yarn startall # start client and server at the same time 

this error comes at yarn install stage

@amangit007 I see. In order to build Composer this way, you have to use node v14, otherwise you'll get the error:

➤ YN0009: │ @microsoft/orchestrator-core@npm:4.14.4 couldn't be built successfully (exit code 1

The problem is that @microsoft/orchestrator-core doesn't provide builds for newer NodeJS versions.

What is the other way?

[OEvgeny]

@amangit007 the other way is to use prebuilt binaries

Ok, your solution helped. Thank you
