type 'npm install -g @vue/cli', npm show WARN and ERR-CodePudding

When I type npm install -g @vue/cli,

changed 851 packages, and audited 852 packages in 2m

64 packages are looking for funding

4 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 2 high)

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
  npm audit fix --force

Run `npm audit` for details.

But more WARN message but stackoverflow think it's spam. appears. So, I did npm audit fix --force. And the terminal show this:

npm WARN using --force Recommended protections disabled.

Is this a normal installation? Is it an abnormal installation?

There seems to be a problem because there are a lot of ERR! letters. help.

CodePudding user response：

Like the error output is telling you, you have to run the command npm i --package-lock-only.

Also see What does 'npm i --package-lock-only' do?

CodePudding user response：

I think it should work

You execute this command. Install the package from yarn

yarn global add @vue/cli

and You can check you have the right version with this command:

vue --version
