Failed to Download Starter Kit Error

[CynthiaBlue]

I have a new MacBook and am installing Quasar. I used Homebrew to install Node and have Node Version 16.13.0 and NPM version 8.1.0 installed. I used Homebrew because when I tried just installing Node via the download package I was getting permission errors when installing Quasar.

However, now when I try to create a new Quasar Project using

quasar create new_dir

I get the following error message:
Quasar CLI · Failed to download repo quasarframework/quasar-starter-kit#master: EPERM: operation not permitted, utime '/Users/mymac/.quasar-starter-kits/quasarframework-quasar-starter-kit#master/.github'

From what I'm seeing online it's possible that the github download site to install the starter kit is temporarily down? Could that be the case? Or is there something else I'm hitting?
Thanks.

This is my quasar info output

This seems to be an error with your local environment and/or VSCode. Check this thread out:
microsoft/vscode#13920

This is an error from the CLI connecting to Github to retrieve the starter kit. It's a non-Quasar issue, but a Github server issue or maybe you're behind a proxy?

Alternatively, download the starter kit yourself from https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar-starter-kit:

Then:

$ quasar create <folder> --kit /path/to/unzipped/kit/from/above

Thanks for the replies. I think it's still a file permission error on my new MacBook. I'm not behind a Proxy, and according to the text-kit GitHub page they are up and working.

I've tried changing the permissions on my folder & subfolders but I'm still having issues. Now I'm getting an error when trying to install firebase auth.

I believe I got this working.

I followed these instructions:
https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally

Manually change npm's default directory

Just a note, I still have problems every time I try to create a new Quasar project. I get the same error:

Quasar CLI · Failed to download repo quasarframework/quasar-starter-kit#master: EPERM: operation not permitted, utime '/Users/mymac/.quasar-starter-kits/quasarframework-quasar-starter-kit#master/.github'

In order to create a new project, I have to download the kit manually and unzip it. Then I have to create my directory, change into it, and run the following code to reference the downloaded and unzipped starter kit:

quasar create --kit ../quasar-starter-kit-master

Then my project is created properly and runs fine.
