Stenciljs error while project initialization

Question

I am trying to create a new stenciljs project using the provided command npm init stencil

After running the above command, i get this error

Can someone please help me to find out what exactly is going wrong.

One observation is that after running the command, a new folder named Rohan is created under users directory. Here is my users's directory:

Looks like a the problem is the space in your username. What are your node/npm versions? — Thomas, Sep 04 '20 at 13:26
@Thomas True. npm version is 6.14.8 and node version is v10.18.0. Any issue related to npm or node version ? — Rohan Kangale, Sep 04 '20 at 14:15

I was able to figure put the solution. Thanks to Thomas for giving me a hint in the comment :)

The issue was related to the npm-cache path. Since i have space in the username, the cache path was not taken properly. I fixed the path by running this command(set the path for the respective folder only):

npm config set cache "C:\Users\Rohan~1\AppData\Roaming"

After this, the command npm init stencil will ran properly and was able to create the project.

Glad you were able to fix it, but I'm a bit surprised that npm doesn't correctly quote file paths. – Thomas Sep 04 '20 at 15:46
