Hi, all! I’m trying to get the fleet preview to run on Win10 but fleetctl isn’t being installed by npm; are there updated install instructions? Thx!

Hi, @Joe B! What's happening when you try?

C:\WINDOWS\system32>npm install -g fleetctl npm WARN config global

--global

,

--local

are deprecated. Use

--location=global

instead. npm WARN config global

--global

,

--local

are deprecated. Use

--location=global

instead. added 22 packages, and audited 23 packages in 2s 3 packages are looking for funding run

Have you run globally installed npm packages before? It could just be that your PATH needs to be updated.

ahh, prob that’s it. where does it put packages in Win10?

Checking.

ahh, great! every time I use -g, it complains that that is deprecated and to use --location=global instead

I always find it hilarious given the update instructions npm gives.

haha

Happy to help! Have fun with it, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or that doesn't do the trick.

When you ran the preview commands, were there any errors? Does Docker show the fleet service running as well?

No errors, yes it shows running

It definitely shouldn't be! It generally runs pretty smoothly, but there are definitely a lot of moving pieces. There should be several Docker containers running for Fleet, Redis, MySQL and preview hosts.

Ahh, only one gets launched

Odd. Any errors when running preview?

nah, it’s ok but thank you so much! 🙂

No problem!
