@RameshTechouts I just tested on my own Windows 10 system and could not reproduce your issue. It appears you have some very aggressive npm cache, or your npm registry is set to something that is pulling old packages (or is missing packages).

So what could be the possible solution, because am experiencing the same issue too

[dev-lumen42]

Same here! In w10, tested with yarn and npx

[Deltids]

Same here, npm 7, node 15

Edit: Installed npm install npm@6.14.9 and it solved the issue.

[RameshTechouts]

I followed the below points , Then it will worked for me. 1.rm -r node_modules 2.npm cach clean --force 3.npm install Thanks&Regards Ramesh D

By default, create-strapi-app adds the dependency "knex": "<0.20.0" to your package.json. However, since 4f5a0e7 the actual dependency that strapi has on knex was changed to ^0.20., so they don't match anymore. NPM 7 stopped accepting this inconsistency. I think you can update package.json to >=0.15.0 <0.22.0, which is the version range used by the bookshelf dependency.

I am having the same issue using Node 15. Unfortunately I can't use an earlier version of Node as I am on Apple Silicon and Node 15 is the only version that will compile natively.

[derrickmehaffy]

Those of you on Node 15, we have no plans to support Node 15 (or any "odd" node release) the next supported version will be Node 16 in October of 2021.

[BraydenGirard]

Any suggestions for running Strapi locally on Apple Silicon?

Update:

Great resource here - nodejs/build#2474 (comment)

None of us in the core Strapi team have M1 Macs to even test with, so for the moment we can't validate any support on them.

@BraydenGirard a few in our team now have m1 macs, see this PR: #9106

[derrickmehaffy]

@larrybird1 what node/npm version do you have and can you check your npm registry setting with: npm config get registry
