Getting these messages with the command npm install bcoin (any suggestions?) ::

This seems to be a bug with the newer version of node and bcoin. Have you installed the latest version of node.js? Can you try with LTS version?

The installation of bcoin is still a problem even with cd .\Users\admin\multisig.

Hello sir, could you please share us a screenshot of the console to check what error you are facing when installing “bcoin”? Maybe we can help you solve it.

It seems you’re missing the package.json file, can you check it exists in your multisigproject directory?
Indeed. I do not see it within the node_modules (multisigproject)
multisig project is a folder you created right? You can initialize it as a npm project using npm init then you can also install packages. Not sure if this will also solve the other issue with bcoin package not working. It requires an older version of node and is an upstream issue that hasn’t been resolved yet.
That’s why I recommend you try the LTS version of node.js.
There is also a nvm for node, but I think its not supported on M$.
What version of node.js are you using?
Node.js v14.4.0 is what I use.
Is this possible on a windows machine?
Perhaps it is better until the current version of node.js is updated. Please tell me when that update will happen. Thank you for your work Alko89!
Yes, NodeJS 12.18.3 LTS is also available on Windows https://nodejs.org/en/
It would be better for you to uninstall the actual 14 version you have installed, install the 12 version, might take a while until nodejs update their software. And most of the programs we suggest in the course should work with NodeJS version 12.18… without issues.

I rolled back to the distro version of node:
$ node --version
v10.16.3
$ npm --version
6.12.0
and now I can run
node address.js
and it is creating the two wif files
some of my other projects are using later version of node so I will be in version hell for a while.

Glad to know you figure it out, the bcoin app is not 100% compatible with the last node version, thats why we suggest to stick with the version that we use in the courses. node version 10.1#.# should work good on every other course ask you to use it, so try to stick with that one.
