Are you using a custom npm proxy or have some kind of custom resolver system configured on your system?

Can't reproduce on Linux Mint 20.2 using npm or yarn

No, default global npm installation.
The ubuntu vm on which i tried the installation is part of a server cluster using Proxmox.

Tried to reproduce it on Zorin OS too, installation worked fine tho.

Maybe it's an error on my side, sorry for that if that's the case.
Gonna test some more tomorrow.

Installation of Strapi v3 is working fine tho on the same virtual machine.

I have the above issue when using node v16.

Installation works when I use node 14.

I'm using macOs

Hey @daveteu any difference in NPM/Yarn version as well?

[josephfh]

In case it helps anyone, I updated my Node version to the latest using nvm (MacOs)

Node v14.17.3 - same error as above
Node v14.18.0 - works 😄

Hey there! I faced the same issue. After this command fails, there is a package.json file in your beta folder. In this file I changed the following fields under dependencies from this:

"@strapi/strapi": "4.0.0-beta.0",
"@strapi/plugin-users-permissions": "4.0.0-beta.0",
"@strapi/plugin-i18n": "4.0.0-beta.0",

to this:

"@strapi/strapi": "4.0.0-next.0",
"@strapi/plugin-users-permissions": "4.0.0-next.0",
"@strapi/plugin-i18n": "4.0.0-next.0",

So basically changing the beta part of these three dependencies to next.

Hope this helps!

@freekvisser next is the alpha, its older than beta.

@LucaNerlich
Thanks for the heads-up, when executing npm view @strapi/plugin-upload, the returned version is @strapi/plugin-upload@4.0.0-next.0, so I'm guessing the beta version is not yet published to npm?

[LucaNerlich]

Possibly not for this plugin. MediaLibrary is also disabled in quickstart beta0 as of now.

It works when I use node v14.17.4 (npm v6.14.14)

Above error will occur when I use node v16.5.0 (npm v7.19.1)

Since @josephfh advised v14.17.3 will cause the same error, I believe the min requirement is node v14.17.4

[LucaNerlich]

Node 16 is not supported atm.
