What should I do to install forge-cli on windows? Is there node version or npm version has issue?

Hmm, it looks like somebody forgot paths can have spaces in the CLI tool or it’s dependencies.

Looks like a legit bug in the CLI, but I suspect if you do this in a path without spaces in the meantime it will work. Sorry for the hassle! I’ll report it to the team tomorrow.

I am facing the same issue. please help

This seems to be a bug with the latest version of the CLI occurring for path names containing spaces. Until this is fixed, you may try out the previous version of the CLI -
npm install @forge/[email protected] -g
OR
As @rmassaioli suggested above, get rid of spaces in path if possible. Eg. C:\Users\Chinmay Borkar\ → C:\Users\Chinmay-Borkar\

How can I install forge now? Please help.

Where should I run this command? I am doing all this in the command prompt.
Do I have to install docker on windows?

Anyone!!! please help to resolve this issue.

If it is related to the version on node,npm, docker, or forge… then please share the exact versions that you are using currently on the cloud.

Hey @chinmayborkar1 ,

As per the output pasted by you, it looks like forge was successfully installed.
You are now facing an issue with your PATH environment variable. Checkout I can't install forge CLI

This means that forge is not yet added to your system PATH variable otherwise you would be able to access it from any directory. In order to that in Windows, you can follow the instructions here link.
The path that you have to add is C:\Users\chinmay\AppData\Roaming\npm

The issue with space characters in directory names is fixed in the CLI version 10.0.0.
