Can you provide more information about your system? Os, node version, npm version, etc?

[davidmurdoch]

@AngelPn can you paste the output of npm install ganache@latest -g?

Hi @AngelPn,

I was able to install Ganache without issues on Windows 10 (Node v16.18.0, npm v8.19.2). Can you try with latest Node v16?
