i found this issue: npm/npm#20954

Please use Yarn instead of NPM at least until I manage to fix this problem.

i do and the installation runs fine. But now i have another problem and it's difficult to describe...

If i start a session from browser for the first time (before i run gulp dev or gulp styles) everything is fine, every external file is loading. After 'gulp dev | styles' magento load the "regular" page but not the js | img files from pub directory.

[Igloczek]

Without logs from console and browser, I cannot say more than "sorry for inconveniences" 😉

But if you have problems even with images, which are not processed by the Frontools at all, it's probably a problem with your M2 instance configuration.

@mageho Thanks for the report, but it's exactly the same as OP show in the first comment, so I removed yours. In the future, please just upvote the issue.

delete npm-shrinkwrap.json and try again with npm install

[dasiux]

delete npm-shrinkwrap.json and try again with npm install

this worked fine so far, no need for yarn.

[henkvalk]

delete npm-shrinkwrap.json and try again with npm install

Thanks for the fix. This was solving my issue

[Igloczek]
