Looks like you are trying to install n package But it is not supported on windows

"n is supported on macOS, Linux, including with Windows Subsystem for Linux, and various other unix-like systems."

It states:

wanted {"os":"!win32"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

What is "!win32" vs. "win32" ??

[VoltrexKeyva]

It states that the n package wants any OS except win32 which stands for Windows, n is only supported on macOS, Linux, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

I would recommend installing Node.js using the official installer which you can download from the official Node.js website.

If you want a Node.js version manager on Windows then you can install nvm-windows which is nvm for Windows.

I am experiencing a similar issue. When I run npm install I get the error below:

npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"!win32"} (current: {"os":"win32"}) npm ERR! notsup Valid os: !win32 npm ERR! notsup Actual os: win32

What can I do?
