Issue installing fauna shell on Windows

Hi

I am new to Fauna DB and was installing the Fauna shell using npm - i see the below error.

c:\Software\FaunaDB>npm install -g fauna-shell
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

Will appreciate any suggestions on what the issue could be.

Thanks

This is probably not a Fauna lib error but an issue with npm. Did you try to search the error: ’ integrity checksum failed when using sha512: wanted sha512-’

Things that come up are:

  • Could be a connection issue
  • Could be an npm cache issue
  • etc…

I would look for solutions there.

Yes, it was a npm issue most likely. I was able to retry it some time back and was able to install the fauna shell.

Thank You
