NPM Error while installing Sanity Studio v3

[jozefini]

Hello, I'm having trouble installing Sanity v3.

npm create sanity@dev-preview Throws an error to me.

Here is the full log.

Could you try running npx @sanity/cli@dev-preview init instead?

[jozefini]

That command works great however, the Sanity version is still 2 @sanity/base": "^2.30.1"

I wonder why is Yarn there Error: spawn C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Yarn\Data\global\node_modules\@sanity\cli\bin\sanity
Seems like is looking at Yarn packages or idk, I don't know anything about those package installers.

Probably have to do npm install @sanity/cli@dev-preview first, then npx @sanity/cli@dev-preview --version should show something like @sanity/cli version 3.0.0-dev-preview.9.
Then you can try and run npx @sanity/cli@dev-preview init.

Worked for me atleast!

Thanks for the answers. The working solution was by @olehhe.

Steps:

1. npm install @sanity/cli@dev-preview
2. npx @sanity/cli@dev-preview --version
3. npx @sanity/cli@dev-preview init
4. Choose npm as runtime over yarn on Windows OS.

I noticed that choosing Yarn runtime in a windows environment triggers a cli error for the basepath when I run yarn start.

Credits to @olehhe again for helping me.
