zsh - bash spawn bin/zsh ENOENT error Hello! I am having problems with npm packages installed on my MacOS big sur 11.6.3. Each time I try to install an npm package using terminal on VSCode or Simple Terminal I have an installation fail with this output: --------------------------------------------- npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! syscall spawn bin/zsh npm ERR! file bin/zsh npm ERR! path bin/zsh npm ERR! errno -2 npm ERR! core-js-pure@3.20.3 postinstall: `node -e "try{require('./postinstall')}catch(e){}"` npm ERR! spawn bin/zsh ENOENT npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the core-js-pure@3.20.3 postinstall script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above. I have tried different approaches to install the packages but with no success, not quite sure if it's a permission problem, or environment....not very well versed on these 2 topics. But on my MacBook air running a late version of macOS I believe it's 10.11, no such problems exist....I have developed a complete application there using the same packages I am trying to install on my iMac. Anyone come across this problem and can point me to a solution? Many Thanks R.V

After upgrading to MacOS Monterey, I can no longer install anything with npm, npx or yarn As I said, after upgrading to Monterey my MacBook Air M1 some days ago, I can no longer install anything with npm or similar. The problem is that I get no errors but instead when I try to install some packages, the installation take forever and it doesn't actually never end, while before it used to take minutes to finish now after hours nothing happens. I used brew to install node and yarn and they were functionally until the update. I tried to remove and reinstall node and yarn several times but nothing ever changed. I tried to clear and verify the cache but nothing happened. I tried to install them via other ways, but the problem was the same. It seems to be a problem with my internet connection, because with yarn I get a notice about some network errors. But after several tests I can assure that it's everything ok since other programs works fine. The package I'm trying to install is Gatsby package: npm i gatsby - It does not give me any errors and the installation progress doesn't move further till a certain point (which it seems to be random). yarn add gatsby - The progress bar moves a little faster but sometimes it displays some network error communication, but it disappears after a short time. npx gatsby new - (which is the command to create a new gatsby project) Worked the first time and then just stopped working. I tried to install different packages but with each of it, it gives me the same problem. I really don't know how to resolve this situation and I ask for your help. Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
