Hi Team,

I am Vandana. I was going through the tutorial for Gas Station Network. I have Ganache and Git installed on my Windows 10. When trying to run "npm install @openzeppelin/network", I am getting the below error. Can you please help me in resolving the issue?

C:\Users\MY\Desktop\ethereum\gsn-dapp>npm install @openzeppelin/network

Hi @VandanaKamal,

As you have Git installed, you can install OpenZeppelin Network.js using Git Bash terminal.

Though I would recommend moving to using Windows Subsystem for Linux (this is what I use).
See Solidity Smart Contract development on Windows for details.

Thanks @abcoathup. I tried installing on ubuntu machine and it worked for me.

Great to hear. So much of the ecosystem is *nix based so it is much easier to develop on a *nix based system. I am currently using WSL 2 on Windows.
