Cannot install Nx

Expected Behavior

I expect that when I enter the command npm init nx-workspace project-name-here the command will create a folder, put a package.json in it and create a blank nx workspace.

I am on a Windows 10 machine, and I’ve used Nx before, I don’t understand why it isn’t working.

Current Behavior

It errors out, so I tried starting off with an Angular workspace and adding the nx to it, and that failed as well.

Failure Information (for bugs)

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Changed directory to be outside of existing projects but still in desired folder where I want to create a new folder to contain workspace.
2. Entered command.
3. Upon failing multiple times, I used ng new project-workspace-name-here --create-application=false to create a new blank Angular workspace.
4. Upon creation of new workspace, changed directories into the workspace.
5. Attempted to run npm init nx-workspace again.
6. Upon failure again, attempted to run ng add @nrwl/workspace
7. Upon yet another failure, submitted ticket.

Context

Using latest version of Nx, NPM version 6.9.0, node version 10.16.3, Windows 10 OS, Visual Studio Code.
