Do you have any solution for this? Thanks

[lloydstubber]

@YogiZoli @zgjonbalaj -- I'm using an older version of Ubuntu but this is my work around: #570

[dustinboettcher]

Here is what works for me (08/23/18) - cp paste each line after a fresh WSL 18.04 install.
(Note: If you already installed most of it line 2 might be interesting for you)

Update (01/18/19): New nvm script version 0.33.11 -> 0.34.0

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt install -y build-essential libssl-dev libpng-dev
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
exit
nvm ls-remote (optional: choose which Version suits you best e.g. LTS 8.x see below)
nvm install 8.15.0
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y --no-install-recommends yarn
source ~/.profile
yarn create slate-theme my-new-theme

@dustinboettcher -- I'm on a machine running Ubuntu 18.04, but I was experiencing these same issues.

The instructions you gave worked very well for me. I already had yarn installed, but uninstalling it before running your commands fixed the issues for me.

Thanks!

[t-kelly]

Was able to replicate this as well. The missing piece that @dustinboettcher was able to nail was:

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt install -y build-essential libssl-dev libpng-dev

Going to add this to the docs!

I recently decided to try scoop for Windows and was able to get this running with npx since yarn didn't like the space in between the user name assuming and returned an exit code 1. Running npx however worked well. I still have yet to figure out the SSL certificate as installing a self signed certified in both root certificate store and chrome didn't help.

[t-kelly]

Will take a look at Scoop! Thanks.

It's been a dogs age since I've touched Windows so I'll take any help y'all can throw at me!

@t-kelly Yeah scoop seems to be a great alternative to installing all of the dev environment tools on Windows. Very similar to brew if your familiar with that. Somehow that build just worked right out of the box but i did uninstall everything (php, python, nodejs, npm etc) before running scoop.

Edit: As mentioned i did not go the extra step of troubleshooting the SSL if you figure that part out let me know lol.
