answer was clear. thank you, it's not the "n" team

I wonder if this discussion should be assigned to the team that can actually make the messages more clear.
I wonder who can reassign the discussion?

[richardlau]

Nobody here can because those teams are outside of the nodejs organization.

[dugaquilin]

ah...
so let me echo what I understand now...
I'd have to find the github for the npm team? I think it's npm.. as that is the command I'm running, please let me know if I've gotten it wrong.
Thanks

npm is maintained in https://github.com/npm/cli but I really suspect your issue is with n.

[dugaquilin]

oh boy.. sorry... i clearly missed that. ugh. Yep.. there it is.. right in the supported platforms page you linked originally.
i give up.
