It's not possible to install
fleetctl
from Node, anything you guys can do?
Copy code
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! 403 403 Forbidden - GET <https://registry.npmjs.org/fleetctl>
npm ERR! 403 In most cases, you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! 403 a package version that is forbidden by your security policy, or
npm ERR! 403 on a server you do not have access to.
Using
npm install -g fleetctl
as shown in the documentation

You can also manually install fleetctl by downloading your operating system compatible version from the github releases page https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/releases/tag/fleet-v4.40.0 The nice thing about npm is it will update for you when you run the update command. Getting it from the releases page is a bit more manual but workable alternative. In my experience I’ve run into permission issues depending on how you initially install npm, at least on Linux.

Yes I prefer the npm way as I can keep it updated easily. Running it on macOS so it should be a bit easier to run

@Benjamin Edwards would it be possible to allow Pierre to access the repo for this instead as a workaround to the solution you're proposing?
b
It’s open source, everyone has access 😅
j
I think he's offline but this is what he's looking for specifically. Can you point us to where exactly that lives?
b
If they’re having npm permissions issues that’s likely a problem with the npm installation. I’d recommend going through typical google troubleshooting results.
j
Okay, I'll recommend Pierre looks at that first
p
Just an update, it's working now. It was a proxy issue
j
Ha, you're ahead of @Pierre N. Thanks for the update. 🙂
