Background
I am trying to do a Phoenix LiveView project to learn how it works. To this extent, I have, in my windows 10 machine, installed Elixir and NPM via chocolatey. I have also successfully run the commands:
$ mix archive.install hex phx_new
$ mix phx.new demo --live
Problem
The problem comes after running the second command. After its completion I am told to follow some additional steps:
We are almost there! The following steps are missing:
$ cd test_app
$ cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --mode development
In specific, the npm install part fails:
> npm install

This is a fresh project. I am confused as to why this is even happening.
If I run npm install --force then I am greeted with a wall of errors, I assume because of this issue.
Question
How can I fix this?
