Parcel-bundler won't install

HTML/CSS
1

I am at the Course #42 of Part 3 of HTML/CSS and I followed the same method as the video (npm i -D parcel-bundler also tried typing the same version that Mosh was using for the tutorial) to install the parcel bundler but it gives me bunch of error message and I don’t see a node_modules folder in the Explorer either.

The error message I received:

Because of this I am stuck in this course for now. Any help would be highly appreciative. Thank you in advance.

The main error seems to be this line:

clang: error: no such file or directory: ‘Photograpahy/node_modules/node-addon-api’

I don’t know if this will help or is the right way to solve this, but you could try running this command before running the parcel install command:

npm i node-addon-api

Tried following your process but it shows the same error message. This time installing the, “npm i node-addon-api” did show a, “node_modules” folder in the Expolorer but there is only, “node-addon-api”, library in it, no any parcel-bundler library. Thanks for trying to help though.

So I found a solution and wanted to share with the new Web Developers like me. If you’re having trouble installing, “parcel-bundler”, then try running the command without the, “-bundler”, eg. (npm i -D parcel). This worked for me and I think the reason why the parcel.bundler wasn’t working is from what i read in the error message is that I assume they discontinued parcel-bundler and their new version(v2) is just, “parcel” not “parcel-bundler”. Thats my assumption for parcel-bundler not working and the mention solution worked for me. Cheers if that helps anyone facing the same issue.

Thanks, Dalare, it works for me. I’ve been struggling with this issue for three days. Now the issues have been resolved. Thanks once again. If anyone having this issue please use (npm i -D parcel) command.
