Npm i ts-node-dev --save-dev leads to no such file or directory, chmod node_modules/ts-node-dev/lib\bin.js'

Question

I try to install ts-node-dev:

npm i ts-node-dev --save-dev

And get the error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod '/node_modules/ts-node-dev/lib\bin.js'

Answer 1

Refer to open issues #224 and #235 in the GitHub repo.

The current suggested workarounds are either;

1. Updating npm to the latest version.

2. Or, install the earlier version 1.0.0-pre.65.

   So you may want to try running the following command in your project directory:

   npm un -D ts-node-dev && npm i -D ts-node-dev@1.0.0-pre.65
