I'm still new to Laravel and Homestead but have been working through all the Laracast tutorials with no problems in the past couple of weeks.

Now we've come to starting a brand new project using laravel/breeze instead of doing all the authentication by hand.

I'm using Homestead 13.3.2 and Vagrant 2.3.3 on a Windows 10 machine.

The error occurs when I run the install command:

php artisan breeze:install

npm ERR! code EPROTO
npm ERR! syscall symlink
npm ERR! path ../acorn/bin/acorn
npm ERR! dest /home/vagrant/Code/flashcards/node_modules/.bin/acorn
npm ERR! errno -71
npm ERR! EPROTO: protocol error, symlink '../acorn/bin/acorn' -> '/home/vagrant/Code/flashcards/node_modules/.bin/acorn'

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/vagrant/.npm/_logs/2022-12-30T14_42_25_106Z-debug-0.log

   INFO  Breeze scaffolding installed successfully.

I'm running node v14.20.0 npm 8.16.0.

the slightly more verbose error from the log says

08 verbose stack Error: EPROTO: protocol error, symlink '../acorn/bin/acorn' -> '/home/vagrant/Code/flashcards/node_modules/.bin/acorn'

  • npm and windows is always a pain. As soon as you have to do npm install, do this: `npm install --no-bin-links` , it will prevent making those symlinks – UnderDog Dec 30 '22 at 16:47
  • Thanks @UnderDog. Problem is that I’m not running it manually it’s part of the breeze install. – Ben Dec 30 '22 at 16:57
