      Hi Mathius! Is this a brand new AdonisJS project? If so, make sure you're using at least version 20.6 of NodeJS. If you are, can you please share the repo? I can take a look and see if anything stands out.

          Hmm… I just pulled down your repo, and ran npm i and it booted up a-okay. I'm using Node v20.14 as well. Maybe try deleting your package-lock.json and node_modules and rerunning npm i? Might've been some issue with NPM cache.

                works well after giving permission to npm to access .npm folder.

      Hi Marley! These steps don't seem in line with an AdonisJS 6 installation, what command did you use to try and install this project? Also, what NodeJS version are you using? Note, AdonisJS 6 requires NodeJS v20.6 or greater.

        Hello!

        For installing AdonisJS, I used the command npm init adonis-ts-app@latest hello-world with Node.js v20.16.0. At some point, I also used PNPM with pnpm create adonis-ts-app hello-world. I encountered the same error as you.

          The command to create a new AdonisJS 6 project is npm init adonisjs@latest, the same command shown in this lesson. Try giving that a go instead.

    Hi, thank you from Italy for this tutorial!! I have problem when I put http://localhost:3333 in my browser because it instantly switch to https and the site won't support it. I've just found this solution: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2022/Oct/24/Fix-automatic-rerouting-of-http-to-https-on-localhost-in-Web-Browsers
    Do you have any suggestions about?

      Hi Davide! Rick Strahl's blog is a fantastic resource, especially for .NET devs! If you don't have any localhost projects making use of HSTS, you should be able to just clear out your browser's HSTS cache to get things working again. You can find AdonisJS' HSTS config within config/shield.ts.

      If however, you'd like to work with or need to work with HTTPS locally, you may have luck giving Caddy a try! I've never worked with it, but it automatically comes with and renews TLS certs for HTTPS and works on localhost.
