Hello!
Originally I was trying to follow an old tutorial from october 2024 to install and run bolt but I ran into the issue script dev doesn’t exist. So after looking at the GitHub I saw that there was already a closed issue so I followed the instructions and replaced Node.js 23 with 22 and still didn’t work, so I tried to follow a new tutorial for windows and encountered my current error.
Hi @DFlow,
did you try my video? I think the steps are pretty clear there. If so let me know on which step you struggle.
Yes I went to try to your video right after the old one didn’t work. I followed everything from the start until the error step by step.
ok, but you did not post any error. You screenshot is ok.
So what is the acutual error? Next step in the tasklist is pnpm --version
Sorry for the late response! Well honestly uhm… looks like it wasn’t an error. Sorry for taking up your time. Also since I am here I’d like to ask why isn’t there a dropdown for the model providers and models like there’s in the tutorial? Also there isn’t neither a .env.example nor .env.local file so I don’t know where to put my API keys. I’m pretty sure that you used .env.local in the tutorial.
ah now I see the problem. You are in bolt.new which is not bolt.diy
This community is bolt.diy (https://bolt.diy). bolt.new is completely different.
So far bolt.new help you would go to their discord server.
Honestly I don’t know the difference and don’t really care I just want help to get bolt locally. I got bolt.diy and got this error.
The difference is you were trying to install the npm/pnpm packages in your root System32 folder in Windows. There is no package.json file there, so it doesn’t try to install package (which is probably for the best). You need to be in the directory you are trying to install the packages. It’s good to care why, otherwise next time you might break something. Best of luck!
As for the “funding” message, you can ignore that. Lol
@DFlow thats ok, if you just want to install, but you should be aware in which community ask help for which product. You also dont ask in any Linux community for Windows help 
To your problem, try this please:
pnpm store prune
pnpm install
It looks like there is something broken with your PNPM Installation.
